History
When we sway back to the year 1996 our managing trustee Rev. Dr. R Ebenezer lay the stepping stone to initiate our trust. Rev. Dr. R Ebenezer who is having bunch of experience over 20 years in social work and he has been working as a church missionary over 17 years as Pastor, trusted in God to provide these lost souls.
Since his home town is a small & Remote village in Tamil nadu (in South India), he had realized and acquainted with the bitter impact of poverty and illiteracy. So, he was interested to be involved in charitable services to exterminate poverty and illiteracy which is still prevailing in the rural areas of tamilnadu. This provoked him to launch "GOD GRACE CHURCH AND TRUST. At the outset he helped the poor village children and aged by providing food and clothes. He also gifted uniforms, food and stationary items to the poor school children who belong to the families which basically depend on daily wage or agriculture. Our church & trust is engaged with social service along with church activities since Christianity says about sharing of love and benevolence.
"GOD GRACE CHURCH AND TRUST" was established in 2004, registered under the Indian Trust Act 1882, with registration number 1063/04, with four board members who were interested in rendering non-profit social service by putting hands to lend service with our managing trustee.
