From Prayer to a Church Community

Kathmandu Evangelical Church began in July 2018 with a simple gathering of two families. Pastor Yubaraj Barailee, together with his wife, family members, and close relatives, began meeting regularly in a small room to pray, study God’s Word, and seek His guidance about starting a new church in Kathmandu.

From the beginning, their desire was to establish a community centered on Jesus Christ and the gospel—a church where people could hear God’s Word, grow as disciples of Christ, care for one another, and become faithful witnesses of Jesus in their families and communities.

As the fellowship grew, the church rented a small room where believers gathered for worship, prayer, biblical teaching, and fellowship.

When the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted public gatherings, the church entered a difficult season. Although regular services could not continue in the same way, Pastor Yubaraj and the church continued praying, maintaining relationships with members, encouraging families, and caring for the congregation.

When restrictions eased, the church began gathering again. In time, the congregation was able to rent land and build a simple place of worship, providing space for worship, fellowship, discipleship, prayer, and ministry.

Today, Kathmandu Evangelical Church continues the work that began with those small prayer gatherings in 2018. We seek to be a church grounded in Scripture, shaped by the gospel, devoted to prayer, committed to making disciples, and faithfully sharing the hope of Jesus Christ with our neighbors.

What began with two families praying together continues as a community seeking to glorify God and be a living witness of Jesus Christ in Kathmandu and beyond.
