Formation of Zou Presbyterian Church Synod ( ZPCS). The Manipur Gam Presbyterian (MGP) and the Manipur Eastern Presbytery (MEP) were under Manipur Synod for a long time. Thus after being with the Manipur Presbyterian Church Synod for more than three Decades the MGP and MEP formed the Zomi Christian Literature Society (ZCLC) on 13th August 1974, with a view that they could improve the Hymnbook, Bible and other together. Later they formed an Advisory Board/ Committee with the expectation to gain a Synod. Again in August 2001, the MEP Standing Committee agreed to propose to the MGP to form a Joint Com mittee that they may be able to gain a Synod. The MGP accepted the proposal and on 6th September 2001 a joint Presbytery Committee was formed, and submitted a proposal to form the Zou Presbyterian Church Synod to the Presbyterian Church of India Assembly with the recommendation made by the Manipur Presbyterian Church Synod. On the 7th May, 2004 the PCI General Assembly approved and thus granted a Provisional Synod. The Zou Presbyterian Church functions under the Provisional Status for two years. It acquired its
full Fledge Synod on the 10th September, 2006. Rev. C Rosiama, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of India inaugurated the New Synod. Thus the Zou Presbyterian Church Synod becomes one of the constituent units of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of India. The Synod has its Headquarters at Zomi Colony, Churachandpur, Manipur. The administrative setup of the Synod is a full centralized type of administration.
