Christ the king church



                    A prominent CSI Church in Kodaikanal, Christ the King Church has over a hundred years of history. Christ the king churchis a very sacred shrine near the Coakers Walk in Kodaikanal. Built by an American Madurai Mission in 1895, this church was known as the Union Church in the past and had an evident influence on colonial architecture. Christ, the King Church is one of the places deeply admired for worship and is situated in the Queen of Hill Stations. The Christ the King church is a perfect example of Gothic architecture. Christ the king church is made of granite and leaves visitors awestruck. Also, regardless of your religion, the church welcomes all visitors with open arms. 

Inside the opulent church is a series of stained glass embellishing windows, and wooden chairs are placed right before the altar. The main altar has an image of Lord Jesus depicted on it. One also gets a splendid view of the valley from the church. Masses are organized here in both Tamil and English, giving the place a holy and serene atmosphere. Though any time is good to visit the church, the best time is during the Sunday service or festivals such as Easter and Christmas when the entire premises lights up and is beautifully decorated.
