Our Beginning

 In the mid 1700’s a spiritual movement called ‘Restoration Movement’ was started  to restore the faith and practices of the New Testament Churches. As a result, the brother-hood of Christian Churches was started by those who were committed to global evangelism. Missionaries from the Restoration Movement arrived in Mumbai, India in September 1882, to start churches and restore the existing churches to New Testament Christianity. Hundreds of Christian Churches and other welfare organizations were started all over India. As a result of this effort, India Christian Bible College was established in June 1984   by Dr. John Philipose, who is the Founding President, and his wife Annamma Philipose in Thengode, Cochin, Kerala, India which is supported by Christian Churches and individuals who believe in global Christian services. Because of God's blessings, thousands of young people have graduated from ICBC and are working throughout India and the neighboring countries. 

VISION AND MISSION

 INDIA CHRISTIAN BIBLE COLLEGE provides necessary skills and tools to those young men and women who are called by God and committed to serve Christ anywhere they are called. Our goal is to reach the un-reached with special emphasis in reaching the marginalized, and millions of oppressed and suppressed people groups. We uphold the holistic education of our students and that they might be bold enough to face any odd or unforeseen circumstances in their ministry. It is our challenge to transform them through integrated learning in five main areas: Physical Formation, Spiritual Formation, Academic Formation, Ministry Formation, and Practical Formation. 

SCHOOLS

SATELLITE SCHOOLS are among the important mission and vision which extends to other parts of our country. There are short term Bible schools to meet the spiritual needs of the local people, in Vishakpatnam, Angara, and Bobbili in Andhra Pradesh.  In addition to these, there are two secular schools; Emmanuel Public School in Andhra Pradesh and Carmel Mission School in Bihar, under the leadership of  Rev. Wilson K.M  and Rev. James Mathew respectively

Additional Information

This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.


Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.


Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.


Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.


Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.

Hospice Program in Chungathara

Meal Kits to Hospice Patients

Hospice Meal Kits is another mission project ICBC has been doing for the past 2 years in the town of Chungathaa, which is 140 miles from the main ICBC campus. We provide meal kits to individuals who are stricken with cancer, on dialysis or have other terminal illnesses. Regardless of their religion, we want to show them the love of Jesus. 


James Abraham, and his wife Valsamma, are seeing this work through. They also oversee the work in Gundalpet. 

Currently we provide 33 meal kits each month. These kits consists of: rice, dal, rava (cream of wheat) sugar, wheat flour, legumes, garbanzo beans, tea leaves, cooking oil, oats, ragi (millet), and Horlicks (protein powder). This is a joint effort between a local store, Hospice Care Center in that location, and ICBC. 

Items included in the Kit

Rice for the Hungry

  ICBC has been supporting the Gundlupet Ministries for the past 5 years. We distribute rice and beans once a month and conduct a devotion with the locals. These families live around the forest area in the state of Karnataka. They live off of government support which only comes during the election time. Other times they hunt for anything they can take to the market to sell to purchase alcohol. The homes they live in are built by the state government. Each family gets one room. Bathroom is a separate, communal building, used by everyone in the area. Children are expected to help their family, so they cannot go to school. Boys, starting at the age of 10, have to look for food and are gone for days into the forest. If they can sell anything, that’s priority. Even if we wanted to give them blankets, sheets or clothes, we have to put holes, or make them otherwise unsellable, so the men won't sell them to purchase alcohol.
