It was founded in 1894 as a result of the movement initiated by Kannampallil Koshy Mathai Kathanar who was the Senior Vicar in the Cheppad Malankara Church (St. George Orthodox Church, Cheppad) by the approval of the then Metropolitan, Titus I Mar Thoma (1893–1910). This church holds a unique position in the church history of the Syrian Christians of malankara. During the koodasha of this church all the episcopas, the sufragun metropolitan and the then Malankara metropolitan was present. Even though it is a reformed church, the worship and culture of the Mar Thoma Christians here are deeply rooted in the eastern oriental culture which is greatly acknowledged throughout the Mar Thoma Syrian Church.
