...The Church, is completing 146 years after the enormous service done to the members of the church, as well as to the entire neighborhood; irrespective of
religion and other differences.
...It has now reached a stage that the church building is beyond any form of renovation, as it was built by the faithful congregation of Rawatawatte, nearly one and half centuries ago.
 
 
Rawatawatte Methodist Church- Moratuwa-SRILANKA
The Rawatawatte Methodist Church was opened on the 27th of April 1859. Therefore it is the second oldest church for any Christian denomination in this city. Actually, the ancestors of the present Methodist community started life as a church in a church building situated about a mile away from the present one. In 1859, they shifted to the present site because it is located by the side of the Galle Road; which is the main highway that runs through the city. The edifice was a landmark in the city which no passer-by would fail to recognize. It was higher than any other building on the highway up to about twenty years back.
