We, as a Mar Thoma Church worshipping community, have completed nearly twenty years in Auckland. By the Grace of God, we survived the three years of pandemic and despite all the challenges, it is astounding to see the number of new members arriving in church every week. Along with that, comes the pressing need for a place of worship which can accommodate all of us at a suitable time for Worship and Sunday School. We can either consider buying an existing Church/Hall with associated facilities or a suitable land to construct.

Buying the Parsonage in 2015 was the stepping stone to our long-term goal of having our own place of worship. Our strategic approach as decided in the General Body at that time, was to pay off the loan of Parsonage within 5/7 years and depending on our projected cost for Church, gather additional fund for the initial equity of the Church project. The pandemic derailed our initial course of action. Even today, we are committed to our goal and it is time for us to rise up and build our own place to worship our Lord Almighty – as King David said in 2 Samuel 7:1 “Here I am living in a house built of Cedar, but God’s covenant box is kept in a tent”.

Church is a representation of our spiritual and cultural values which we hold dear to our heart. It is a platform to teach spiritual values and beliefs to the future generation who will also be responsible citizens of tomorrow.
