P.V. Alexander Ministries supports more than 75 churches, many of them with small congregations. Church attendance ranges from 25 to 100 people on any given Sunday.

Because of the terrain and local customs, large "mega" churches are not possible. In this part of India, the primary form of transportation is walking. Understandably, people do not like to walk further than 3-4 miles on Sunday morning.

To meet these traveling difficulties, we provide small churches that meet in central locations, rather than a larger meeting place.

Each church is led by a paid minister, most of whom graduated from the Kerala Christian Theological Seminary.
