It is the only religious institution for the Christian community in the village. However, people of all walks of life can be seen in the church for its aesthetic beauty and natural splendor.^[1][2]

Construction[]

Even before the establishment of Bangladesh, various missionary educational institutions, including churches, were sanctioned and given grants by English missionaries for the purpose of propagating the religion in various parts of the then British Bengal. As his successor, a large church "Rani Japamala Church" was established at Hasanabad in Nawabganj. As a branch of this organization, several churches and missionary schools were established in the surrounding villages. The 'Tuital Church of the Holy Spirit' and the then missionary school 'Tuital Girls School and College' were approved.

After being under Hasanabad for about 120 years, Tuital Dharmapalli was established on 15 May 1894. And in 1924, a new church was built next to the current church, which was named the "Tuital Church of the Holy Spirit".^[3]

Reconstruction[]

After the construction of the church in 1924, it was renovated many times. However, as it became obsolete, a new version was built on the site in 1993.

Popularity[]

Being located on the banks of Ichhamati, it has multiplied the beauty and peace of the institution. It is a popular picnic spot for Christians as well as people of other faiths due to its unique design and peaceful green and flowery climate inside. Every Sunday the local Christian community comes here to pray and every Christmas after the Christian community wedding is held here. And on other days it is open to other people, although there are strict restrictions to protect it.^[4]

Also, the shooting of the 1933 film "Ekattorer Jishu (Jesus of the Seventy One) ", based on Shahriar Kabir's samename novel took place on the banks of the church and the river Ichhamati.
