Parish Mission

“To prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”  Ephesians 4: 12 -13

Every Marthomite is expected to be a true witness to Jesus Christ and sharing the joy of salvation where ever they are placed. MTVEA was established in the year 1924 with this very purpose in view. The first general secretary was Moothampackal Sadhu Kochukunju Upadeshi.
