Our Metropolitan & Bishops

Our Metropolitan & Bishops

The bishops of the Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church are called to shepherd God’s people with faith, humility, and a steadfast commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Through their ministry of preaching, teaching, pastoral care, and spiritual leadership, they guide the Church in worship, mission, and service.

Meet our Most Rev. Metropolitan and Rev. Bishops who faithfully serve the Mar Thoma Church, each bringing unique gifts and experience while working together to strengthen the Church, nurture its congregations, and proclaim Christ’s love throughout the world. Their leadership continues the apostolic tradition of guiding God’s people with wisdom, compassion, and servant-hearted dedication.

“Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.” — 1 Peter 5:2-3
