Our Men’s Ministry is committed to building a community of strong, godly men who lead with integrity and compassion. We offer various opportunities for men to grow deeper in their faith through weekly Bible studies, prayer groups, and fellowship events.
Every Tuesday at 6:30 pm, we gather for fellowship on the church campus. Once a month, our Reverend leads the session, while the other weeks, our men’s fellowship arranges guest preachers. Additionally, on the fourth Sunday of each month, we conduct the evening service under the Reverend’s guidance.
Our ministry encourages men to uplift and support one another in their spiritual journeys, challenging each other to live out their faith in every aspect of life. We focus on developing Christ-like leaders dedicated to serving their families, church, and community with humility and love.
Monthly, we go out for evangelistic outreach, and during the Christmas season, we travel to villages to share in celebrations and spread the joy of Christ.
Our Women’s Ministry is a vibrant, welcoming community where women of all ages come together to grow in faith and friendship. Every Saturday at 5 pm, we gather at the church for fellowship through worship, prayer, and outreach. As part of our mission, we visit and pray for the sick, offering them encouragement and support.
This ministry provides a nurturing environment for women to share their experiences, uplift one another, and strengthen their walk with Christ. We believe in empowering women to be leaders in their homes, workplaces, and communities, reflecting Christ’s love in all they do. On the third Sunday of every month, our women’s group leads the evening service under the Reverend’s guidance.
Our commitment extends beyond the church walls. During the Christmas season, we actively serve and assist those in need, bringing hope and joy to our community. One of our key outreach efforts is supporting the Mathamma community and other vulnerable groups who face moral, social, and ethical exploitation. We provide groceries, resources, and essential support to help uplift them.
Our Youth Ministry is a dynamic and vibrant community where young people come together to explore their faith and deepen their relationship with Christ. Every Sunday at 11 am, we create a safe, welcoming space for teens to ask questions, share their experiences, and discover God’s purpose for their lives. Through engaging worship, Bible studies, and interactive activities, we encourage our youth to live out their faith boldly and authentically.
In addition to spiritual growth, our youth are committed to service, actively participating in church activities and extending help to those in need. They play a vital role in supporting the poor, providing assistance to orphanages, and offering aid during natural disasters such as floods. Their involvement in these acts of service not only strengthens their compassion but also equips them to become the strong, compassionate leaders of tomorrow.
Our Youth Ministry is dedicated to mentoring and supporting young people as they navigate the challenges of adolescence, empowering them to make a positive impact in the world. We foster an environment where the next generation can grow spiritually, socially, and personally, rooted in Christ’s love and purpose.
Our Sunday School Ministry is one of the most vibrant and essential parts of our church, dedicated to nurturing the faith of our youngest believers, from beginners to seniors. We are committed to laying a strong spiritual foundation in God’s Word through engaging, age-appropriate Bible lessons that help children truly understand the teachings of Christ.
Through creative activities, captivating songs, and inspiring stories, we bring the Bible to life for children of all ages. Our passionate, dedicated teachers are committed to guiding each child on their spiritual journey, fostering a sense of belonging and community where every child feels valued, loved, and encouraged in their faith.
In addition to weekly Sunday classes at 9 am (except for the first Sunday of the month), our ministry also extends to outreach. Every May, we take part in village ministries, sharing the gospel with children in rural communities through puppet shows, storytelling, and motivation that plants the seeds of faith in young hearts.
Our Sunday School Ministry aims to shape the next generation with a love for Christ and a strong understanding of His Word, helping them grow into confident, compassionate believers.
Our Young Homemaker Ministry is dedicated to supporting individuals as they embark on the rewarding journey of managing a home and raising a family. We offer practical workshops covering essential skills like cooking, budgeting, parenting, and home management, all while grounding these practices in biblical principles. This ministry serves as a community for young homemakers to connect, share experiences, and find encouragement in their roles.
Beyond workshops, our ministry extends its reach by actively helping the poor and those in need. We participate in outreach efforts, including renovating old diocese school buildings that require restoration. We believe that creating a Christ-centered home is key to fostering love, peace, and growth, and our mission is to help each member cultivate such an environment.
Additionally, the Young Homemaker Ministry conducts church services every second week, leading evening worship under the guidance of the Reverend. Through fellowship, learning, and service, we aim to strengthen families, build community, and make a lasting impact in both the church and the wider community. Join us every Saturday at 6:30 pm.
Our vibrant church choir plays a central role in enhancing every service with their harmonious and heartfelt performances. They thoughtfully select meaningful songs that align with the sermon topic, adding depth and spiritual resonance to our worship. The choir takes great care in choosing a mix of traditional hymns and Keerthanais, giving special preference to classic hymns that have stood the test of time and continue to inspire.
Throughout the year, and especially during special seasons like Lent and Advent, their voices elevate our church celebrations with powerful sacred music, drawing the congregation closer to God through song. Recognized as one of the finest choirs within our diocese, they are known for their mastery of both hymns and Keerthanais, providing an enriching musical experience.
Every Saturday evening, they gather for practice, led by our talented Choir Master, James Ratchanyam, ensuring their performances are always exceptional and in harmony with the spirit of our services. We also warmly welcome guest choirs to join us, fostering a shared appreciation for the beauty and power of sacred music.
The choir’s unwavering commitment to excellence in music makes them an indispensable part of our worship, inspiring and uplifting our community week after week.
The Production Team plays an indispensable role in enhancing our worship experience by expertly managing media, audio, and visual elements. From the preparation of song lyrics and sermon slides to the seamless presentation of content through our projectors and audio systems, they ensure every aspect of the service is smooth and visually engaging. Their work behind the scenes allows the congregation to focus on worship without distractions, creating an impactful and immersive atmosphere.
In addition to managing in-house audio and video, the team is responsible for live streaming our services on YouTube, extending the reach of our ministry to those who are unable to attend in person. With the use of three monitors for church audio, video, and presentation slides, they ensure everything runs in perfect coordination, whether it’s a regular service or a special event.
During special occasions, the Production Team plays a key role in setting up and managing all technical arrangements, ensuring that the audio and visuals are flawless for a memorable worship experience. Their dedication and expertise ensure that every service, whether streamed online or attended in person, reflects the excellence and care that our church strives to deliver.
