The chapel can accommodate a congregation of up to 500.

St Augustine’s Chapel, Kampung Mambong comes under St Paul’s Parish, Bunuk.

The Anglican Church was first established in Kampung Mambong in 1934, when a few families moved from Kampung Sikog to the new settlement to practise their Christian beliefs freely.

All of them were baptised by missionaries from Kampung Quop.
