Church of South India Tampa (CSI Congregation of Florida)

About this church

CSI Congregation of Florida, which also goes by Church of South India Tampa, worships at 1607 Lithia Pinecrest Rd in Brandon. The website lists a Holy Communion service on Sundays at 11:00 AM, with Sunday School earlier in the morning. A banner on the site adds that worship is held in both Malayalam and English on alternate Sundays at 11:00 AM, so first-time visitors may want to confirm which language is planned for a given week. The congregation belongs to the Church of South India, a church formed by the union of Anglican, Methodist, Congregational, Reformed and Presbyterian traditions and organized into dioceses led by bishops.

The parish began in Brandon with a few families meeting in a United Methodist chapel, and its first Malayalam Holy Communion service followed a few years later. Today it gathers every Sunday, and pastors from various states visit to preach. The site describes its goals as giving children and adults a place to meditate and build fellowship, and it encourages children to take an active part in church life. Photos and videos on the site show a church choir, Christmas carol programs, a youth Sunday and a confirmation service with a visiting bishop. The Sunday School start time appears as 9:30 AM on the home page and 10 AM on the events page, so confirm the time before attending. The listed phone number is 813-400-0455.
