An old English church, one among the oldest in India- and a heritage site, the church has a pipe organ and a Gothic styled architecture, which is now getting rare every day.Sad to notice that while the church has a highly educated and affluent community the Church could be better maintained and show cased than its current state.As a tourist one does not get a hang of the ancient history of the church by way of any stone engraving or booklets!

Happened to go to service today but was greeted with a differently abled church member with Who are you people and where are you coming from in a very bad tone. He said that we need to register online before attending service but that doesnt justify the way how he treated someone who is coming for sunday service. Looks like this church is only for elite class and doesnt regard people from other demography. I wonder if he would have welcomed us differently if we visited in our car.

One of the oldest church.. beautiful one...

Beautiful old church.

Wesley Church is one of the oldest churches in Egmore area of Chennai, the capital of the South India state of Tamil Nadu. The original structure was built in Gothic architecture in 1905 by Wesleyan Mission. It was constructed at Egmore considering the growing needs of it in the area around Egmore. The church is named after John WesleyJohnthe founder of Methodist Movement in 140 countries.The church is built in Gothic architecture. The site at the current place where it the Church is located was originally a lotus tank. The tank was filled up during the early day of settlement of Rev. John Breedan from 1892 when the land was purchased. The pipe organ used by the church is of important note and is one of the oldest instruments still in use. The church has an exterior made of brick, stained glass windows and tiled brick spire. The altar houses conventional Methodist images and a prayer hall for the devotees. The plaques of Wesley and Jesus Christ are housed in glass chambers in standing posture on the walls facing the devotees There is a school and institutions belonging to the Church located within the compound.The church was named after Wesley, the founder of Methodist movement in 140 countries. Protestant missions in India were legalised by an act of British Parliament in 1813. The mission to India and Ceylon was initiated with five members. The Madras mission was established in 1817, with Royapettah as the headquarters. During the later period of the 19th century, the need was felt to expand in regions like Egmore and Perambur. During 1892, the Garden House in Poonamalle High Road was purchased for the pastor of the English group. Rev. John Breedan, who was the first to occupy the premises with the lotus tank in front of it worked towards the foundation of the church. The foundation of the Church was laid on 28 December 1903 with the filling of lotus tank on Poonamalle High Road in Egmore by Prof. George G. Findlay and his fellow missionaries of the Wesleyan Mission. The church was formally inaugurated on 11 February 1905 by Rev. J.Cooling and the formal message of opening the church was announced by Rev. William H. Findlay. The centenary celebrations of the Church was celebrated on 29 January 2005, with special lectures and fundraising events.
