Our Journey

Our Story

Shalom Gospel Ministries was born out of a passionate call to bring the wholeness, peace, and divine prosperity of God to the community of Nellikuppam and beyond. Founded by a small group of believers with a great vision, we began gathering in homes and community halls before God blessed us with our current home in Vijaya Green City.

Rooted deeply in Tamil Nadu, we have grown into a vibrant, multicultural congregation that reflects the diversity of God's family. Over the years, our congregation has expanded from a handful of families to hundreds of members united by one faith, one Lord, and one baptism.

Today, Shalom Gospel Ministries stands as a beacon of hope in Chengalpattu District — reaching inward to nurture our members and outward to touch lives across India and the world. Every milestone we celebrate is a testament to God's faithfulness and the dedication of our church family.
