Our Shepherd
Pastor C. I. Thomas is the founder and senior pastor of Bible Church, Anand — a man whose life has been marked by an unshakeable commitment to the Word of God and the mission of Christ in India.
Called to ministry with a heart for the unreached, Pastor Thomas established Bible Church in Vallabh Vidyanagar in 1975 with a particular vision to evangelize university students and young people in the Anand district of Gujarat — a region home to thousands of students from across India.
Under his faithful leadership, the church has grown from a small fellowship into a vibrant missionary congregation that spans denominations and nationalities. His ministry has been characterized by deep expository preaching, discipleship, and an open door for all who seek Christ.
Pastor Thomas believes firmly in the unity of the Body of Christ — that the church is strongest when believers from every background stand together under one Lord. Over five decades, his vision has borne lasting fruit in the lives of students, families, and communities throughout Gujarat and beyond.
