Claiming more than 500,000 members,[1] the SIB church is the largest Protestant denomination in Malaysia having evolved from a small missionary presence among the Lun Bawang and Kelabit people of the Kelabit Highlands of northern Sarawak as well as the Sipitang District of southern Sabah, to the Bisayas and Ibans in Limbang and later the Dusuns of Kota Belud as well as Ranau and the Muruts in Beaufort, Nabawan, Tenom and Keningau all located in Sabah and to a lesser extent other numerous indigenous tribes such as the Kenyahs, Kayans, Punans, Bukitans, Bidayuhs, Penans and Melanaus in Sarawak. It also established large congregations in both East Malaysia and West Malaysia, along with a missionary partner church in Singapore under the Borneo Christian Fellowship umbrella of the SIB Semenanjung Johor district branch congregation.
