Overview
Nongsawlia Presbyterian Church is a catholic church in Cherrapunji, Meghalaya. Situated on Sohra - Shella Road, this is the oldest church in Meghalaya and one of the best places to visit in Cherrapunji. Built-in 1846 AD, it is the First Presbyterian Church in Meghalaya and for that matter in North East India. The church was founded by Thomas Jones, the first missionary to the Khasi hills and the founder of the Khasi script. The church was destroyed in the great earthquake that happened in 1897 and was rebuilt. Thomas Jones also established a primary school in 1843 which stands alongside this church.
The church has a grand and magnificent structure with a beautiful bell tower. The surroundings of this church make it more breathtaking. One can also visit the graveyard on top of a hill from where one can get some of the most magnificent views of the Nongsawlia area
