In 1865, the missionaries started the evangelism and after continuing their missionary work for 15 years, in 1880 they were able to build and dedicate the Church. Rev. G.W. Champion was appointed as the first priest for the Church and seven members were baptized y him in 1880.

Four schools belonged to this Church. They are namely:

  1. Kokuvil West C.C.T.M.S

  3. School opposite to our Church-Kokuvil station C.C.T.M.S
  4. Kokuvil East C.C.T.M.S (This school is now known as Ramakrishna Mission School)

The other three schools even though they were taken over by the Government goes as C.C.T.M.S.
