C.S.I. St. Matthias' Church is a Protestant church situated in the neighbourhood of VeperyinChennai, India. The church was constructed and consecrated in 1823.[1]
C.S.I. St. Matthias' Church had its origins in a private chapel, the Chapel of Our Lady of Miracles, owned by the Armenian merchant Coja Petrus Uscan.[2] In November 1752, years after Uscan's death, the chapel was obtained by SPCK, the Danish Protestant mission from Tranquebar for Rs. 50,000.[2] The SPCK renamed the chapel as St. Matthias' Church. The church was consecrated in 1823.[2]
