Bethel Marthoma Church is a Marthoma church situated in Chengara, Kerala, India. Bethel Marthoma Church belongs to the Ranni Nilackal Diocese of Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church.

Before 1978, there were no church for Marthomites in Chengara. They had to go to Marthoma churches in other villages for worship. When this became difficult some Marthomite people of that time in Chengara joined together and decided to make a new church in Chengara. In 1978, construction of the church started. It was very difficult to make a church at that time because most people in Chengara were farmers.
