METHODIST TELUGU CHURCH AMBARNATH | SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE | 22ND DEC 2024 | REV. DAVID BATTINA |

THE METHODIST TELUGU CHURCH is situated at the township of Ambarnath, in the District of Thane, state of Maharashtra.
This township of Ambarnath is about 60 Kms away from the Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus of city of Mumbai.
On 19th January 1957 the corner stone of the Methodist Church, Ambarnath was laid at the hands of Bishop Mangal Singh, M.A., D.D. the then Resident Bishop of Bombay Episcopal Area.
The construction of the Church was finally completed and was dedicated to God’s Glory for His Worship on 15th December 1957 by the same Bishop Mangal Singh.
Thus, in the year 1993, the bifurcation of the Kannada-Telugu Methodist Church into two separate congregations was witnessed under the leadership of Late Rev.B.Manikyappa, Late Rev.J.B.Challa, the District Superintendant Thane, and Bishop Stanley E.Downes, Bishop of the Bombay Regional Episcopal Area of the Methodist Church in India.
Sunday the 2nd May, 1993 was a historic day for Methodist Telugu Church, Ambarnath as on this day the first worship service in Telugu language had commenced. Rev.Dr.Y.D.Purushotham was entrusted the responsibility of ministering the Telugu Church with effect from 1st May, 1993.
By the Grace of God, the Church is growing in all the spheres. Lord has been gracious in using elders, Lay preachers, WSCS, MYF, Sunday School, and Choir group and many talented ones such as singers, musicians etc., for His Glory.
