The work of the Baptist Missionary Society of England in the 20th Century was the beginning of Christianity in the Lairam (Lai Land), India. BMS missionaries such as Rev. J.H Lorrain and Rev. F.W Savidge were the pioneers who evangelized the Lai. Since then, the Lai Baptists continue to grow until they were established and organized into a body called ‘Assembly’ (Convention) in two stages: 1970 and 1982. The Lai Baptist were formed into two groups, growing in parallel. The first group was called ‘The Church Of Jesus Christ’ and the second group called ‘Lairam Baptist Church’. The two groups merged in 1999. The united Lai Baptist Body was called ‘The Lairam Church of Jesus Christ’ without bearing any ‘Baptist’ name. However, since they are of Baptist origin, they are always baptistic in confession and practice. At the annual Assembly of 2003 at Lawngtlai Electric Local Church it was unanimously resolved to rename the Church as "Lairam Jesus Christ Baptist Church" (''Lairam Isua Krista Baptist Kohhran'').
