ABOUT US

Chembur Biblical Baptist Church is an independent, fundamental, Jesus loving, sin hating, devil denouncing, Bible believing Baptist Church ~ and we have been ever since the Lord raised up our congregation in 1986! We are use the same old "Good Book" which was the focus of the faith of our forefathers! We still believe in the Book, the Blood & the Blessed Hope, and we trust our services reflect that fact.

Chembur Biblical Baptist Church began as a Bible study in 1986, and was incorporated as a church in 1989. We are the oldest Fundamental Baptist church in Mumbai (Bombay), India. We are proud of our place in His-story, and excited about what the future will bring - including the return of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ! In the meantime, we are striving to take seriously His command, "Occupy till I come" (Luke 19:13).

OUR PASTOR

I was born and raised in a Christian home, in Hydrabad, A.P.  I was saved at  the age of 14.  And from that time I knew the Lord was preparing me for His ministry.  After I finished my B.Sc, I got a job in the army, there was a struggle in my life whether to accept the job or serve the Lord.  And in 1978 I dedicated my life to serve the Lord and was waiting on the Lord the place and during this time I read an article in a Illustrated weekly magazine about the city of Mumbai and I prayed to the Lord to give me a opportunity to serve Him at least for a year in this city.  The Lord answered my prayer and in the year 1981 my wife and I came to Mumbai.  We started our ministry in a humble way in the slums of Mumbai among the children.  By the end of one year we had Bible studies in 5 centers.  From the year 1983 to 1987 God gave me a privilege to pastor a church in Khopoli and also enabled us to start new churches in surrounding areas.  And in the year 1988 I started to pastor Chembur Biblical Baptist Church, which I still Pastor.  Today we have about 80 to 100 believers attending the church. 

And in 1989 we started a church in Telugu language in Vashinaka today we have about 120 families attending the church. We also have a team of pastors serving the Lord in different centers in Mumbai , ministering to different language group. Praise the Lord for His wonderful blessings.

Through this ministry we also have churches in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Sikkim.
