Church Committee

Present Committee has 9 pastorate committee and 4 DC members.

Administration

CSI Immanuel Church was vested with the Indian Ecclesiastical Establishment from Coimbatore.

Transfer to CSI

After Indian Independence, the Government of India, transferred the ownership of all Government churches to the Indian Church Trustees, Calcutta, as the absolute owners of all such Church properties in India. However, maintenance of the church is the responsibility of the local Diocese. Following formation of the Church of South India in September 1947, the Christ Church, came under the Diocese of Mysore. In 1950, the church was transferred to the newly formed Coimbatore Diocese. In 1963, the ownership of the churches held by the Indian Church Trustees, Calcutta, was transferred to Church of South India Trust Association. The chapel of the London Missionary Society also came under the control of the Church of South India

Present Times

At present, CSI Immanuel Church also has a Community Hall, the old Anglican Cemetery of Salem is also administered by this church. Recently, some renovations were undertaken.
