Dubai Mar Thoma church
Dubai Mar Thoma church

Dubai Mar Thoma Church beginnings

In the 1960s, Dubai witnessed an influx of residents from India, seeking better trade and job prospects, which included a number of Christians from Kerala. Thus, in 1969, the Dubai Mar Thoma Church was established by 130 Marthomites, who met as a group in the Our Own English School in Bur Dubai.

As the church members grew in number, the Dubai Mar Thoma Church moved its communion services from the school to the compound of the Holy Trinity Church in Oud Metha. However, in 1999, the Government of Dubai granted 20,000 sq.ft of land to construct the Dubai Mar Thoma Parish, and the first service was held on the new premises in 2001.

In November 2018, the parish celebrated its 50 years of congregation in the UAE.

Mar Thoma Church History in Kerala

The Mar Thoma (St. Thomas) Christians of Malabar (Kerala) are one of the earliest Christian communities in the world and as old as the Church in Rome and older than the Church of England. It is traditionally believed that St. Thomas, an Apostle of Jesus Christ came to India in A. D. 52 and landed at Kodungalloor, which was a port near Cochin, on the Malabar coast. According to tradition the ‘Namboodiri Brahmins’ were attracted to the new teaching and several of them received baptism. A few families among them were chosen to be responsible for the government of the new Christian community. Mar Thoma then continued his mission and reached the east coast of India. He died a martyr’s death at a place called St. Thomas Mount and was buried at Mylapore in Madras (Chennai). His relics were taken to Edessa in A.D. 232.

The following churches in UAE belong to Mar Thoma Parish:
Abu Dhabi – Abu Dhabi Mar Thoma Parish
Dubai – Dubai Mar Thoma Parish
Sharjah – Sharjah Mar Thoma Parish
Al Ain – Mar Thoma Church Al Ain
Fujairah – Immanuel Mar Thoma Parish Fujairah
Ras Al Khaimah – St. Thomas Mar Thoma Church.
