Church Leaders Launch New Era After AICOCIM
Faith Facts
- AICOCIM concluded with leaders outlining priorities for the future mission of the Church.
- Commissions and task forces were launched to address discipleship, justice, digital engagement, and more.
- The Nagpur Declaration serves as a covenantal call to faithfulness and transformation in India.
The All India Congress on Church in Mission wrapped up in Nagpur, marking the beginning of a renewed commitment to God’s calling in India. Over 450 Christian leaders from every Indian state gathered for prayerful discussion on 13 distinct themes shaping the Church’s next steps.
Reports from each thematic track focused on equipping believers for renewed witness in areas like discipleship, justice, technological engagement, family, and theological education.
“The Congress is not the end,” said Vijayesh Lal, General Secretary of the Evangelical Fellowship of India. “It is a doorway. What matters is not that we gathered, but that we go from here to our calling—to years of faithfulness.”
Lal revealed the draft of the Nagpur Declaration, intended as a statement of Christian witness and a covenant of enduring commitment for churches throughout the nation.
Several new commissions—including those focused on discipleship, justice, digital innovation, pastoral care, and families—were introduced as part of EFI’s ongoing mission and anniversary celebrations. These groups are designed to build unity and resilience amid new challenges facing the Church in India.
Additionally, specialized task forces will drive efforts in evangelism, theological education, leadership, women and youth empowerment, and the responsible use of media and technology.
“These task forces will ensure that the fruit of the Congress will be the obedience in the decade to come,” Lal stated, urging the body to go forward in unity and boldness under Christ’s lordship.
At the Congress’s close, EFI leaders led prayers of thanksgiving, dedicating every commitment to God’s glory, with a vision to see families, communities, and the nation transformed through faithful Christian witness.
“The call is very simple, but it is never easy,” Lal concluded. “It is to surrender afresh to Christ, to stand with courage, and to imagine new pathways of witness for the next decade.”
