About KECF
Rooted in faith.
Stronger together.
Kerala Ecumenical Christian Fellowship brings Kerala-origin Episcopal Christian churches across Dallas–Fort Worth together in worship, witness and fellowship.
Our fellowship
Many traditions.
One Christian witness.
KECF deepens Christian unity, preserves a shared heritage and creates meaningful opportunities for worship, service and fellowship.
Its 20 member churches represent several Episcopal Christian traditions while remaining joined by a common commitment to faith and community across North Texas.
Our History
A Legacy of Christian Unity Since 1979
KECF began in 1979 when the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, the Mar Thoma Church, and the Church of South India (CSI) Church of Dallas came together with a shared vision: to create a common Christian platform for Kerala-origin churches and families in the Dallas area while respecting each church tradition.
From those three founding churches, KECF has grown into a fellowship of 20 churches and congregations. Across more than four decades, clergy, lay leaders, families, youth and volunteers have strengthened that fellowship through prayer, worship, fellowship, charitable service, cultural programs and cooperation among the churches.
That continuing story belongs to every generation—honoring the legacy received, building bridges among churches and families, and carrying a shared Christian witness forward.
