Come to Me,
and find rest. வருத்தப்பட்டுச் சுமைசுமக்கிறவர்களே, நீங்கள் எல்லாரும் என்னிடத்தில் வாருங்கள்; நான் உங்களுக்கு இளைப்பாறுதல் தருவேன்.

Jesus said, "On this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18) Our true foundation is not stone or mortar, nor any denomination or name — it is Christ Himself, the cornerstone. We are, in Peter's words, "living stones, being built into a spiritual house." (1 Peter 2:5) The story below is simply how God has been building this particular house, in this corner of Tambaram, since the last century.

Protestant Christianity reached Chennai nearly 300 years ago and spread through Tamil Nadu by the labors of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society and the Church of Scotland Mission. In Tambaram — once a small village — the gospel took root through evangelistic efforts from Vandalur, until Rev. William Gnanananda baptized 11 believers on December 21, 1929, forming the first congregation amid real opposition.

Today, by God's grace, that small beginning has become a worshipping family alive in every ministry and fellowship — and a new church building is rising even now, that the next generations might gather to know and love the same unchanging Christ.
