Welcome to Wesley
A church at the heart
of St. Thomas Mount.
Our story brings together Tamil worship, the Wesleyan missionary tradition and generations of Christian witness in Chennai.
The church belongs to the CSI Madras Diocese. Its history connects the early mission at the Mount, the growth of a resident Tamil ministry and the church building dedicated in 1935.
