about us

Our story began in the year 1995 with 7 families assembled in a house in Victoria drive near 54th avenue. For almost 2 years we organized our prayer meetings at different houses. Today, we are a Pentecostal Christian church with Malayalam language service. Malayalam is a language spoken in south India, in the state of Kerala. Kerala has a Christian population of approximately 20 million people.
