About SERTLANGPUI SECTION

1. INITIATIVES AND FORMATION OF THE SECTION :

Before Sertlangpui Section was established, it was part of Thenhlum Section. In the 1977 District Conference, Thenhlum Section was divided into two, forming Thuampui Section. The first Section Pastor at that time was Pastor Lalhranga. The Section Centre was located at Thuampui. Subsequently, on April 1st, 1977, the new Section was officially established.

Then, in 1979, the Section Centre at Thuampui was moved to Sertlangpui, though it still retained the name Thuampui Section. After some time, in February 1981, Sertlangpui Section was officially formed. Consequently, the construction of the Pastor Quarters began in 1981.

During this period, there were 6 Locals within Sertlangpui Section, which were:

  1. Sertlangpui
