About CMTC

The Methodists began their missionary activities in the Deccan region of India in the mid-1800s. The South India Conference of the Methodists was also held in Hyderabad in 1884. The Methodist Chapel was built much earlier, in 1877, and has the distinction of being the oldest Christian religious structure in the city. Due to its small size, it was never referred to as a Church; it is still referred to as a Chapel. The much larger Centenary Methodist Church was built in the 1970s in order to accommodate the growing number of Methodists in the city. This is a much larger roomier Church that can accommodate more than 2000 people. The Church is a stone masonry structure subscribing to the contemporary style of architecture. It has a wide and lofty nave with a balcony.The Church now caters to a cosmopolitan group of Methodists, who speak Telugu (the largest) followed by English, Hindi, Marathi, and Kannada.
