Nongsawlia Presbyterian

In the East Khasi Hills of Meghalaya, India, Nongsawlia Presbyterian Church is located at Nongsawlia where it represents rich culture and tradition. It was built by Welsh missionaries around 1850 making it one of the earliest congregational churches around. This church therefore served important purposes including teaching Christianity as well as schooling local inhabitants enabling them to understand languages used in written communication. This made it grow as far as being part of them whenever there were any events like religious events, learning centres or social hall meetings through which they were able to bond together.

Designed with a simple yet elegant touch, the church displays a form of mixed traditional Khasi and colonial structures. Many changes have been made with time to meet the needs of an expanding population, but this has not been done at the expense of its history. Apart from being a religious building, Nongsawlia Presbyterian Church serves as a cultural resource centre in Meghalaya because its origin dates back to when Christian missionaries came and settled at Mawkhar village.
