Initially we started as a small family prayer group gathering every Saturday. This has now grown into a Marathi congregation! Many of those attending travel long distances to attend from Wolverhampton and Kent, whilst others are more local.

The beginnings of our ‘congregation’ are from a Canadian missionary. In 1894 Dr William Wanless started a missionary hospital in Miraj, Maharashtra State in India.This is connected with the Church of North India, which is in Communion with the Anglican Church. The church continues to have close connections with the hospital and many of  the current congregation undertook their training as Nurses and Radiographers there. In India the church has grown to nearly 5000 members.
