For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.  For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Cor 12:12-13

At Indian Pastors Association, we help pastors establish their legal identity, grow under strong spiritual covering, and receive practical ministry training. Whether you’re serving in a city or a rural village, we’re here to support, equip, and protect your God-given calling.
