Emmanuel Church was established by a LMS Missionary Rev. Gogerly in the year 1829. The decision was taken at the vestry of Union Chapel (Lenin Sarani). In the year 1806 some Portuguese merchants were coming to Kestopur, when they almost perished in a storm in the river Vidyadhari. Somehow they entered Kestopur canal and found an elevated land to stay in safety, with the help of the local people. They built a small cottage church for worship and also as a thanksgiving. Some days later a renowned local landlord named Kalachand Mondal donated some land for the construction of the church building. This is how the Church came into being and has since grown from strength to strength.
