Jacobpuram Pastorate emerged as a big landmark at the Southern end of Tirunelveli District, thanks to the lifelong labor of 3 early English Missionaries - The Rev. Ringle Towbe, the Rev. Charles Meet and the Rev. James Russel - who toiled hard in the alien soil for well over half a century (1806 - 1864). Iniitally, sometimes in 1905, a beautiful Church was built in Jacobpuram. The Church was extended and rededicated in 1967. The Parsonage came into existence on 25.01.1990.
