Christ Church Mhow, the oldest Church in Central India, celebrated its Bicentenary on Sunday.

It was renovated very recently and its original structural beauty has been restored to its erstwhile pristine glory by the tireless efforts of the Pastor, Reverend Major Samuel Paul and members of the church. It continues to be the most beautiful structure in Mhow.

Some of the prominent citizens of Mhow have assisted the Church management in renovating the church. The army establishments in Mhow and the Mhow Cantonment Board have also been of great assistance.
