what is the importance of this article? this particular denomination has less than a thousand members in a nation with a population of 2 million. it does not seem significant enough to have an article.

I agree about the minimal importance of this church in Bhutan, but the NELC has more than 100 000 members in the former Santal Pargans area (a part of the indian state Jharkand) and likewise in the Indian state of Assam. NELC also has some sister-churches (the BNELC) in Bangladesh and Nepal. The church own a lot of property in Northern India, and Mornai Tea Estate in Goalpara, Assam.
