In the beginning of the fourth century, a group of Syrian Christians from Chayal migrated to Kadampanad.
They consecrated a church at Kadampanad in accordance with Syrian tradition and rituals in AD 325, in the name of Mar Thoma Sliha as their patron saint.
As time went by, a strong Syrian Christian community flourished in the vicinity of this church.
There has been a subsequent migration of Syrian Christians from Nilackel during the period of the 12th century and later at the early half of the 14th century due to demolition of Nilackel Church (supposedly due to floods).
Saint Geevarghese Mar Gregorios (Parumala Thirumeni) oversaw the progress of the Church in 1895.
