Are you committed to learn Holy Bible and grow spiritually? Our church is also functioning as a Study Center for ICoM (INDIA COLLEGE OF MINISTRY – A School of Global University). We have Study Center coordinator to run the ICoM program in our Church.
In this Biblical training, the church offers a comprehensive biblical education. You can know the truth, and be able to teach the truth and refute error (Titus 1:9), all without leaving your home or church.
Vision of Biblical Training
The vision that drives Biblical training is twofold.
The first part of the dream is that every Christian should be educated and equipped for the fullest use of their spiritual gifts in serving others for Christ's sake.
The second part of the dream is that Christian education up to seminary standard should be available to anyone those who wish to understand what a relationship with Jesus Christ really means.
Christian worship emphasizes the inward experience of the heart.
