150 years of mission in Broadway ,Madras

Methodist missioneries from the United kingdom began the missionery activities in the 1860s and established  congregation which resulted in building a relatively bigger church for the local people and dedicated it in 1861.At present there are 232 families worship in this church.Now this church is part of the  Church of  South India formed on 27th september 1947.Four major protestant denominations namely Anglican,Methodist,Congregational and Presbyterian have formed the united church called CSI(Church of south India)The CSI is spread in four south indian states of Tamilnadu,Kerala,Andhrapradesh and Karnataka   including Jaffna of Srilanka.There are 22 dioceses in the CSI.Our church is in the diocese of Madras,Tamil nadu.
we have many plans to celebrate the 150th dedication day in this year.
