History
Our Church history dates back all the way to 1993-1995. By the sheer grace of God the ministry here in Vallam was humbly started during this period. It all started in the form of Kids Ministries during Saturdays & Sundays at Vallam C.S.I Church, Immanuel Teacher Training Institute (Venus Compound). Later we continued this ministry along house visiting ministry in the house of Br. John Ganesan who had studied in A.G School at Kanakkapillai Valasai which is closer to Vallam in this locality.
The Assembly of God (A.G) Mission bought 43 cents of land for our Church from Mr. Selvakumar and Mrs. Pushpamani from Vallam. In this buying, 5 cents of land were donated by them for the Church. Apart from the public passage allocation, 38 cents of land parcel are available now for our Church.
Later in the year 1996, an evangelist by name Rev. Dany Fraize from USA was invited to conduct a 3 day crusade, there by commencing ministries in the above land. Following this, we rented out a house for Rs.200 per month at Chelliah Nadar Street and started worshipping the Lord as a family. Few individuals from non-Christian families got saved and started coming to the Church. Though few hurdles came our way, by the grace of God the ministry continued.
Few years later, since the landlord wanted us to vacate the house, we took another house in the neighborhood for a higher rent and continued worshipping for more than a year and half. Once again, since this landlord too wanted us to vacate, we thought about constructing the Church in the land that was purchased for this and approached our organization leaders. But they said there was no fund available for Church construction but asked us to do fast and pray for 3 days. We did that and started praying regularly during Saturday of every month for our Church construction.
God answered our prayers by propelling the hearts of Rev. Adam Durai, Rev. Robert Jeyaraj, Rev. Stewart Junior, Rev. Benjamin Adam, few elder Pastors and our believers who helped financially and co-operated to finish building the Church. We dedicated the Church by 31st December 2001. Since then, this Church ministry has been growing by leaps and bounds by God’s grace. The Church got its first 25 members and become a recognized Church by 1998. Slow by slow new believers started to come into church witnessing God's marvelous work in their lives. From 2011, every year Vacation Bible School (VBS) started in our Church which attracted the local people. They cheerfully sent their kids. Every year gospel was sown into the hearts of about 120-160 kids. Glory to Jesus!
By 2015, God filled the Church with souls and there came a time for the Church building to be extended. By 2015 the work started and by 2016 October the work got over and the Church was dedicated. Many non-Christian people were saved, baptized and now are part of our House Visit Ministry after getting trained in House Church Ministry training programme. Two of our believers completed their Extension Bible College and now assisting in worship. To God be the glory!
