At the Evangelical Church of India, church planting is not simply a ministry—it is a divine calling and a Kingdom mandate. Guided by the Great Commission and empowered by the Holy Spirit, ECI is committed to taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every community across India.
With 13 dioceses functioning throughout the nation, the Evangelical Church of India continues to expand its mission through evangelism, discipleship, leadership development, and church planting. Our prayer and vision is to establish 1 lakh churches and nurture 1 crore believers across India for the glory of God.
Our Vision
Our vision is founded on the words of Jesus Christ
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” Matthew 28:19
We believe that healthy local churches are the foundation for spiritual growth, discipleship, and community transformation. Through church planting, we seek to proclaim the Gospel, strengthen believers, and build Christ-centered communities throughout the nation.
Our vision includes:
-
Reaching the Unreached
Millions across India still have limited access to the Gospel. Our mission is to take the message of salvation to remote villages, tribal communities, urban neighborhoods, and unreached regions.
-
Making Disciples
Church planting is not only about establishing congregations, but also about nurturing believers through prayer, biblical teaching, worship, and discipleship.
-
Raising Leaders
We are committed to identifying, training, and equipping pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and local leaders for long-term ministry and spiritual leadership.
-
Transforming Communities
Along with preaching the Gospel, our churches engage in prayer movements, education support, social care, and humanitarian outreach, bringing holistic transformation to society.
Our Ministry Approach
The Evangelical Church of India follows a prayer-centered and mission-focused approach to church planting.
-
Leadership Development
Potential leaders are trained through theological education, discipleship programs, ministry mentoring, and practical mission exposure.
-
Community Engagement
Church planters work closely with local communities, building relationships and understanding the spiritual and social needs of the people.
-
Evangelism & Discipleship
Regular evangelistic outreach, prayer fellowships, Bible studies, cottage meetings, and worship gatherings help new believers grow in faith and become active disciples of Christ.
-
Church Establishment
As believers gather and grow spiritually, local congregations are formed and strengthened into stable worshiping communities.
-
Sustainability & Growth
Every church plant is encouraged to become spiritually strong, mission-minded, and self-sustaining, enabling continued growth and multiplication.
Our Impact
By the grace of God, the Evangelical Church of India has witnessed tremendous growth through its church planting ministry. Thousands of churches have been established across villages, towns, cities, and tribal regions, bringing hope and transformation to countless lives.
Many pastors, missionaries, and believers continue to serve faithfully in challenging mission fields, carrying the light of Christ to unreached communities. Every church planted stands as a testimony to God’s faithfulness and the commitment of His servants.
