What we checked

  • Not a duplicate: no similarly named church is listed with us
  • The name reads as a real congregation
  • Contact email reviewed (gmail.com, common for small churches)
  • A Facebook page was provided; Facebook blocks automated reading, so it was weighed through the independent search
  • A working page belonging to this church was found by the search: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congregational_Church_of_India_(Maraland)
  • Independent web search performed: see the findings on the right

What we found

We searched for this church by name and location and found it well documented. Reference sources describe the Congregational Church of India (Maraland) as based at Saikao (Serkawr) in southern Mizoram, founded in 1907 by missionary Reginald Arthur Lorrain, with its headquarters office there (Wikipedia, Wikidata), and one entry gives the headquarters address as Saikao, Siaha District, Mizoram, PIN 796911. Recent independent activity is confirmed: a Congregational fellowship news page reported the inauguration of the Serkawr (Saikao) headquarters office on 24 July 2024, led by assembly officers of the church (internationalcongregationalfellowship.org), and a Mara regional news site covered a joint assembly of this church with the Evangelical Church of Maraland in Siaha in May 2024 (maraland.net). Our search for the specific Facebook page "ccimhqrs" returned no confirmation, as social pages are behind a login wall. 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.
