ABOUT US

Dearly Beloved in Christ,

Welcome to the home page of Trinity Mar Thoma Church, Houston, Texas. Our church is located at 5810 Almeda Genoa Road, Houston, Texas 77048, between Highway 288 and Mykawa Road.

Trinity Mar Thoma Church, Houston, has grown from a small prayer fellowship of fewer than 50 families in 1974 to one of the largest Mar Thoma parishes in North America. Our beginnings trace back to April 4, 1974, when Rt. Rev. Thomas Mar Athanasius Suffragan Metropolitan conducted the first prayer meeting at the residence of one of our members in Pasadena. This gathering planted the seeds of what would become a vibrant and faith-filled community.

The first Holy Communion was celebrated on September 29, 1974, by Rev. T. I. Joseph. As membership increased, services were held regularly, and on January 25, 1976, the general body officially named the congregation the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of India, Houston.

In March 1978, the Episcopal Synod recognized our congregation, and soon after, the church acquired five acres of land at our current location. The foundation stone was laid on August 29, 1982, and the new sanctuary was dedicated on July 14, 1984, receiving the name Trinity Mar Thoma Church, Houston.

Today, we are blessed to be the first Mar Thoma Church built in North America, serving 400+ families. Our parish has also been blessed with three clergy from our own membership, including one born and raised in our church. We gratefully remember the contributions of our founding leaders, clergy, and members who faithfully built the foundation on which we stand.

With 51 years of God’s faithfulness behind us, Trinity Mar Thoma Church continues to grow through worship, fellowship, mission activities, and outreach ministries. Having completed our Golden Jubilee in 2024, and celebrated 51 years in 2025, we now move forward with renewed commitment to nurturing spiritual growth and serving as a beacon of Christ’s love in the Houston community.

May God Almighty continue to guide and strengthen us in the years to come.
