Church complex: the presbyterian church of India, Mizoram

Abstract

This project CHURCH COMPLEX aims at creating a Complex which accommodates members of Presbyterian denomination for the use of Church related activities. As most of the Churches in Aizawl aren‟t big enough to accommodate more people, especially when it comes to meets and Conferences, the idea of proposing a church, big enough to accommodate more people than most churches today can, came into picture. The word “church” is a Greek term for ekklesia and it literally means “congregation”, “meeting” or “assembly”. The term is often used by Christians to refer to the physical buildings where they worship. In today‟s world, especially in Protestantism (Presbyterian), not only is Church a place of worship but is used for all the other Church related activities like Christian marriage, Sunday school and meets. Ever since Christianity was introduced in the late 1890‟s to the people of Mizoram, the culture and its social structure have undergone tremendous change. The old tribal customs and practices have been replaced by Christmas, Easter and other Christian celebrations. Churches in Mizoram play a very important role in society and vice-versa.
