The holy Redeemer's ...
The Holy Redeemer’s Church, belonging to the Tamil Evangelical Lutheran Church (TELC), is one of the historic Lutheran places of worship in Madurai. Situated on West Veli Street, close to Periyar Bus stand , the church stands in an area that has witnessed the growth of the city's Christian community over generations.
The roots of Lutheran Christianity in Madurai go back to the late eighteenth century. The pioneering work of the Danish-Halle and later German and Swedish Lutheran missionaries at Tranquebar gradually spread into the interior of Tamil Nadu. Small Lutheran congregations were established in Madurai around the beginning of the nineteenth century.
An important figure in the development of the Madurai Lutheran congregation was Rev. Paul Sandegren, a Swedish missionary who served in Madurai and surrounding regions. He was deeply involved in missionary and social work, particularly among disadvantaged communities.
A significant milestone came on 23 May 1954, when Rev. Paul Sandegren dedicated a second place of worship for the Holy Redeemer’s Lutheran congregation near the Union Christian Higher Secondary School in Madurai.
The congregation belongs to the wider TELC tradition, which was formally constituted on 14 January 1919 through the coming together of Tamil Lutheran congregations associated with German and Swedish missionary work.
Today, Holy Redeemer’s Church continues its religious presence in the heart of the city, serving as a reminder of Madurai's long association with the Lutheran missionary movement.
