“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Welcome · स्वागत
A church where grace is preached and everyone has a name.
Methodist Marathi Church, Ambernath is a congregation of the Methodist Church in India. For generations, families of Ambernath and the towns along the railway line have gathered here to hear God's Word in Marathi, to be baptised, married and comforted, and to learn to love their neighbours.
We are an ordinary church with an extraordinary message: that God, in his great love, gave his Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins and rise again, and that anyone who turns to him in faith is forgiven and made new. We did not earn it. We cannot. Salvation is by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8). And because God saves us by grace, he calls us to live for him: that is why our motto is “Holiness unto the Lord” (Zechariah 14:20).
Gospel-centred
Every Sunday we open the Bible and preach Christ crucified and risen: the grace that saves, not the works we bring.
In Marathi
We worship, sing and pray in the language of our hearts, and welcome anyone who wants to follow along.
Every generation
Sunday School, youth fellowships, the women's society and the men's fellowship: a place for each one in the family of God.
A family in Ambernath
Members have grown up here over generations, and newcomers find a seat, a hymn book and a friend on their first Sunday.

The good news · शुभवर्तमान
The Gospel in four movements
This is the message at the centre of everything we do. It is for you, whoever you are and whatever you have done.
- 01
God made us for himself
God is holy, good and loving. He made the world and made us in his image, to know him and to live in his love. Everything good we have comes from him.
Genesis 1:27
- 02
We have turned away
Every one of us has gone our own way instead of God's. The Bible calls this sin, and it separates us from God, spoils our relationships and ends in death. No amount of religion or good works can bridge the gap.
Romans 3:23
- 03
Jesus came to save us
God did not leave us. His Son, Jesus Christ, lived the perfect life we could not live, died on the cross taking the punishment our sins deserve, and rose from the dead to defeat death. Salvation is finished: a gift, not a wage.
Romans 5:8
- 04
Turn and trust him
God calls everyone to repent, to turn from sin, and to believe in Jesus. Whoever trusts in him is forgiven, made a child of God, given the Holy Spirit and the promise of eternal life. You can do this today, wherever you are.
Romans 10:9
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
कारण देवाने जगावर एवढी प्रीती केली की, त्याने आपला एकुलता एक पुत्र दिला, अशासाठी की, जो कोणी त्याच्यावर विश्वास ठेवतो त्याचा नाश होऊ नये तर त्याला सार्वकालिक जीवन प्राप्त व्हावे.
