St. Thomas Indian Orthodox Church Liverpool
“Love the Lord your God. “
Welcome to Our Church
St Thomas Indian Orthodox Church, Liverpool is a parish of the UK-Europe & Africa Diocese of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church of India. We inherit the untainted apostolic faith from Apostle St Thomas which has been upheld and preserved with reverence for generations.
The first seed of Orthodox Syrian Church was laid in Liverpool in October 2003 with the tireless efforts of the immigrant community from Kerala. Our numbers increased over the years and in 2005 our church was declared a parish by Late H.G. Dr Thomas Mar Makarios Metropolitan.
