The Presbyterian Church in Taiwan's historical roots in the region can trace back to 1865 when British physician Dr. James L. Maxwell arrived in southern Taiwan and to 1872 when Dr. George Leslie Mackay of the Canadian Presbyterian Church came to northern Taiwan to engage in medical and missionary work. During eras of economic hardship and political turmoil in Taiwan, the church provided locals with extensive support and assistance in medical care, education, and spiritual guidance, becoming a central place of faith in many areas. The Presbyterian Church in Taiwan was introduced to the Yewuan community of Taihe Township in 1950 (ROC Year 39). Individuals such as Zhu Lanmei gradually converted to the church from other religious groups. At that time, evangelist Chen Zhifeng and pastor Lin Chuanming helped with the church's evangelism. As the number of believers grew, family gatherings could no longer accommodate attendees. Consequently, the following year, in 1953 (ROC Year 42), the congregation resolved to raise funds themselves to construct a chapel. It was completed as a chapel with a cement-tiled roof. In 1974 (ROC Year 63), a typhoon damaged the original chapel, prompting plans to build a new one. The current chapel was designed by Mr. Lai Ming-te, a brick-built single-story structure. Its front appearance emulates a European countryside chapel style. The primary visual base consists of white walls, while the Gothic architectural style is featured in the roof design. Crosses and cherub engravings adorn the roof's peaks and both sides of the entrance. Another explanation notes that, as discussions about the chapel's exterior occurred, Mr. Lai Ming-te recalled a small card he had collected in childhood. He constructed the design based on that card, hence the chapel's name. It is now recognized as one of the most artistically significant churches along the East Coast. In 2003 (ROC Year 92), Taitung County Government designated the chapel as a "Historic Building." With its increasing popularity, more people have visited the Yewuan community in the northern part of Taihe Township to witness the Card Chapel. It has not only attracted domestic film directors for location shoots but also in August 2012 (ROC Year 101), local Taihe musician "Luwei" released an album titled "The Bell of the Card Chapel." The album cover was designed by internationally acclaimed designer Xiao Qingyang, referencing the chapel's outline. The design won the "Best Album Packaging Design" award that year, further enhancing the chapel's artistic and romantic appeal.
