What we found

We searched for a Church of North India congregation in Jalandhar and found that CNI is a large, genuine denomination in India, part of the Anglican Communion (Wikipedia, World Council of Churches). In Jalandhar itself, the Golaknath Memorial Church, described as the city's oldest church and a congregation of the Diocese of Chandigarh, Church of North India, has its own working website (golaknathchurch.com), and local news confirms this CNI church and diocese representatives publicly (The Tribune). We also found a second Jalandhar CNI congregation page, "CNI Church Suranussi Jalandhar", founded in 1952 (Facebook), plus a CNI graveyard listing at Adarsh Nagar (Mappls map). The findings are summarized here for space; the full research was weighed in the review.

Search conclusion: strong evidence. An independent web search is part of every review; an online page alone does not prove a congregation exists.

Our conclusion: The Church of North India is a well-documented national denomination in the Anglican Communion, and our independent search confirmed active CNI congregations in Jalandhar, including the Golaknath Memorial Church of the Diocese of Chandigarh with its own working website (golaknathchurch.com) and the CNI Church at Suranussi. The signup gives the denomination name rather than the name of one specific parish, and the contact is a private Gmail addres
