Five Decades of Faithful Mission

Founded by Pastor C. I. Thomas, Bible Church has served Vallabh Vidyanagar and the surrounding regions for over 50 years — touching lives, planting faith, and building a community rooted in Christ.

Small but Faithful

We are a small group, but we have a big vision;
We have a small church, but we have a big heart;
We are in a small town, but we have big opportunities;
We cannot all be big, but all of us can be faithful;
We are a little people, but we have a great God.

"Not by might, nor by power,
but by my Spirit, says the Lord."
— Zechariah 4:6

Bible Church, Anand, was my home away from home where I found spiritual growth. The sermons helped me deepen my faith, and I met incredible friends in Christ who supported me every step of the way. The community's love and comfort made me feel part of something bigger.

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.
