The St. Paul’s CSI Congregation was officially established on October 6th, 1995. Prior to this, for over five decades, most Indian Christians in and around Ahmadi were part of the Malayalee Christian Congregation (MCC). Worship services were jointly led by ministers from both the CSI and Mar Thoma traditions. Later, monthly Holy Communion services were introduced, conducted on alternate months under the supervision of the Vicar of the CSI Kuwait City Church. In 1983, the Mar Thoma members separated from the MCC and formed their own independent parish.
Following this separation, Holy Communion continued to be conducted regularly on the first Friday of each month by the CSI Kuwait City priest. Although the Kuwait City CSI Congregation maintained its regular services, members residing in Ahmadi, Fahaheel, Abu Halifa, and surrounding areas found it increasingly difficult to attend due to the long distance and limited transportation facilities.
As a result, participation in Holy Communion remained limited to once a month, and even arranging the priest from Kuwait City posed practical challenges. In April 1995, Reverend T. I. George took charge of the CSI Congregation in Kuwait. He recognized the difficulties faced by CSI members in South Kuwait and expressed the need to establish a separate CSI Congregation in Ahmadi, distinct from the MCC.
Initially, local members were uncertain about this proposal, but circumstances gradually aligned in its favor. On September 23rd, 1995, a formal petition was submitted to the Bishop of the Central Kerala Diocese, expressing the sincere desire to establish an independent CSI Congregation at St. Paul’s Church, Ahmadi. The request, supported by member signatures, was graciously approved. Consequently, on October 6th, 1995, The Right Reverend Sam Mathew, Bishop of the Central Kerala Diocese, inaugurated the St. Paul’s CSI Congregation.
By the grace of God, another CSI fellowship was thus formed in Kuwait, officially affiliated with the CSI Central Kerala Diocese. During the first General Assembly held on November 3rd, 1995, it was resolved to draft a Constitution for the congregation. After several months of detailed deliberation, the Constitution Committee finalized the document, which received official approval from the Diocese on July 2nd, 1996.
Since then, Holy Communion services have been held regularly on the first and third Fridays of each month, with worship services conducted on the remaining Fridays. Over the years, the congregation has grown steadily and continues to flourish spiritually and in strength.
