Get to Know Us
Our Mission
Equip the church in India to know, love and worship God
We strengthen the church in India by providing Biblical resources in local languages, training and ministry assistance.
How We Are Different
Unlike a traditional mission organization that sends Western missionaries, we follow an indigenous church mission theory that emphasizes training local leaders who are already part of their communities. Often having access to places and people that foreign missionaries cannot reach, they can create long lasting churches that endure way beyond the initial influence of the gospel.
Our Values
- We seek God in prayer
- We cherish God’s Word
- We steward God’s gifts and resources
- We cultivate Biblical discipleship
- We serve with humility
Our Beliefts
Equip 28 adopts The Gospel Coalition’s Confessional Statement, which all Board members and partners subscribe to. This foundational document outlines the core beliefs of TGC, a fellowship of evangelical churches in the Reformed tradition. It affirms a high view of Scripture, the Trinity, and salvation by grace through faith.
