About
Wesley English Church
Wesley English Church has successfully ministered over a time period of 125 years which have covered the last part of the 19th Century, the entire 29th Century and so far the early part of the present 21st Century. In this period it has been a witness to the Great Wars which claimed a huge toll, the Independence of our Country, the three wars our country fought, the dawn of the computer era, cars, electricity, Nuclear bombs and Nuclear power, Trains, Aeroplanes, the setting up of the CSI and later the creation of the KCD ... the list is endless since the time period is such that mankind has made huge progress in this 125 years. If we think that is such tumultuous times Wesley has been an Oasis of calm is a credit to our Pastors and Congregation. Wesley has contributed to the spiritual and intellectual leadership of the KCD and continues to be a forward thinking and vibarant Church.
