Zion Church, Batticaloa, Evangelical church in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka
The church stands on Central Road with its main hall designed to accommodate hundreds of worshippers during regular religious services.
Founded in 1974 by Reverend Inpam Moses, the church endured through decades of regional changes and continued to serve the local population.
Zion Church broadcasts religious programs in Tamil language through Zion FM radio, connecting with the broader community in their native language.
