What we found
We confirmed that the Evangelical Church of Maraland (ECM) is a long-established denomination in southern Mizoram, India, founded in 1907 by English missionary Reginald Arthur Lorrain and the largest church among the Mara people (Wikipedia, Wikidata). It runs an official website and an assembly office in Siaha, Mizoram, pin 796901, with listed office phone numbers (ecmassembly.org), and it is listed as a member body of regional church councils (North East India Christian Council register, Council of Churches in Mizoram report). We did not, however, find any directory entry, Facebook page, map listing or news mention for a specific "Goshen" branch congregation, nor any link between the church and the Gmail contact address given. We found no scam reports, complaints or warnings about this name. Note that small branch congregations in Mizoram often have no separate web presence.

The specific "Goshen" branch congregation has no separate directory entry, map listing or social page, which is entirely normal for
