About the Pastorate
In the beginning of 19th century, a Gospel team came to the village of Idayankulam. First baptism service was held on 17.12.1827 and 10 Hindu families came to Christian fold. Over the years all in the village have become Christians. St. Mark’s Church was built and dedicated on 2.10.1888. The Church Tower was dedicated for the Glory of God in 1939.
