Faithfully Serving Christ Since 1994
Immanuel Holy Baptist Ministries is an Independent Fundamental Baptist ministry dedicated to glorifying God through the preaching of the Gospel, discipleship, church planting, pastoral training, children's care, and community outreach.
The ministry began through God's calling upon Pastor Yesuratnam, who from a young age had a burden to gather people, share the Gospel, and establish Bible-centered churches. What started as a humble ministry in Chinthalavalli village has grown into a Christ-centered mission impacting lives through evangelism, discipleship, church planting, and compassionate care.
Through faithful ministry, God has enabled Immanuel Holy Baptist Ministries to establish churches, train leaders, conduct village evangelism, care for needy children, and reach communities with the hope of Jesus Christ. Today, the ministry continues to serve through church ministry, children's home ministry, outreach programs, pastoral development, and discipleship training.
Our desire is to see lives transformed by the Gospel, families strengthened through God's Word, churches established on sound biblical doctrine, and future generations equipped to serve Christ and expand His Kingdom.

Pastor Yesuratnam
Founder & Senior Pastor, Immanuel Holy Baptist Ministries
Pastor Yesuratnam is the Founder and Senior Pastor of Immanuel Holy Baptist Ministries. From his childhood, God placed a burden in his heart to gather people, worship the Lord, and share the Gospel, even in a village where there was no church.
At the age of 17, after surviving a severe bicycle accident while traveling for his examinations, he fully surrendered his life to Jesus Christ and dedicated himself to God's service. This life-changing experience became the foundation of his ministry calling.
In 1994, Pastor Yesuratnam, together with his wife Sulochana, established Immanuel Church in Chinthalavalli village. Later, in 1998, the church embraced Independent Fundamental Baptist doctrine and became Immanuel Holy Baptist Church, committed to faithfully preaching God's Word.
For more than three decades, Pastor Yesuratnam has faithfully served through Gospel preaching, church planting, discipleship, pastoral training, evangelism, and community outreach. Today, he continues to provide spiritual leadership and vision for Immanuel Holy Baptist Ministries, impacting lives and communities for the glory of God.
