St Paul United Methodist Church is the first protestant church in Tondo. In stark contrast to other landmark Methodist churches in the Philippines, Central and Knox Memorial, it was established solely by Filipinos.

The first church structure, a chapel of bamboo and lightweight materials, was dedicated by Presiding Elder Jesse McLaughlin on 5 Nov 1900. It was called Bancusay Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC), and was built through the singular efforts of Honorio Feliciano, a local fisherman. The original building was also referred to as St Peter MEC, in honour of the people’s vocation and avocation – Bancusay being a fishing village.
