The church could seat about 700 people.The church was opened for worship on 25 August 1847. Soon, a building for a high school too was constructed at Chintadripettai. Rev. Miron Winslow of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) worked in Madras for 28 years overseeing evangelistic, educational and Bible translation works and was responsible for the construction of this church. In March 1865 the Chintadripettai church (Zion Church), mission premises, English school house and land, and four day school buildings were sold to the Church Missionary Society (CMS).
