Mateer memorial csi church in trivandrum, Kerala. Lms Church.
The Mateer Memorial Church, situated in the heart of the city of Trivandrum, is one of the oldest of its kind in South India.
Before the construction of the M.M. Church L.M.S people of Trivandrum worshipped in a church constructed by the Protestant evangelical trust in the 1830s. Rev. Samuel Sumanam, father of Mr. S.I. Sumanam from Paraniyam, was working in that church as an evangelist from 1878 onwards. The Trivandrum L.M.S. Church became a pastorate in 1895, and Mathew Kesari, father of Rev. John M. Kesari and grandfather of Rev. J. Eben Kesari was the first Indian to be ordained as the pastor of that church. Rev. Mathew Kesari retired from service in 1904 when the new church was still under construction. His son John M. Kesari was the first pastor of the newly constructed Mateer Memorial Church, his period of service being from April 1905 to March, 1913
