Zion Pentecostal Church was founded by Pastor Nalliah Aaron.

The church has since grown significantly, impacting lives through the message of Jesus Christ.

As Zion Pentecostal Church continued to grow, God’s faithfulness and provision were evident in every step. The church witnessed an overwhelming influx of people, with hundreds joining to worship and praise the Lord. Amid this remarkable growth, a collective vision emerged. Alongside (late) Sis. Mary Paul, the congregation fervently prayed for a larger space to accommodate the expanding family of believers. Their prayers were filled with faith, believing that God would provide a new place for worship—a place where His name would be lifted high.
In response to these prayers, God began to work in mighty ways. On December 15th, 2004, that vision came to fruition with the opening of the first largest church in Vellore District. This new facility became a beacon of hope and a symbol of God’s blessings upon Zion Pentecostal Church. The church was dedicated by Rev. I. Rathinam Paul, the esteemed founder of Fort of Praise Ministries from Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli, who honored the moment with a powerful dedication ceremony.
This new church building was more than just a structure—it was a gift from God to Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Paul, Ph.D., the church’s current pastor, in recognition of his unwavering passion for the Gospel and his vision for Vellore. The opening of the church marked the fulfillment of the second wish of Pastor Nalliah Aaron, the church’s founder, whose vision for a larger place of worship had remained in the hearts of the congregation after his passing. With the establishment of this new church, his legacy lives on through the faithful work of his successor, Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Paul, Ph.D.,
This monumental event in the history of Zion Pentecostal Church is a testament to God’s faithfulness, and it stands as a legacy of answered prayers and visionary leadership. The new church facility continues to serve as a place of worship, spiritual growth, and community for the people of Vellore and beyond. We give thanks to God for His provision and for the many lives that are being transformed within this space.
