The Reformed Church of India (RCI) is a fellowship called and empowered by God to be the very presence of Jesus Christ in the world.

Its objective is to equip believers for ministry—following Christ in mission, in a lost and broken world so loved by God.

Reformed Christians never stop asking whether we’re being faithful to God and reforming the church to follow God’s will. We do this because we believe humans are fallen. And we know how easy it is for our sinful nature to corrupt God’s church.

Since Scripture is the highest authority on our faith and its practice, it shapes our faith and roots us in Christ’s path.

Worship is at the centre of the church’s life. It enables us to articulate our faith and to act it out in word, song, and gesture.
