A General Body elects an Executive Committee headed by Office Bearers, with terms running April to March. Beneath it sit the sub-committees and the Area Fellowships. Every role is voluntary and rotates. See the committees or who serves today — or read Who we are, the fellowship’s own account of who it is and what it does, from the Golden Jubilee Souvenir. The people it names each have a page: the six who founded it in 1975, the four Kohhran Upa ordained in 2022, and the three Chaplains since 2020.
The first fellowship gathering Mizo Christians in Bangalore — every denomination, one congregation, worship in our own tongue.
Registered under the Karnataka Societies Registration Act, 1960 — Regd. No. 427/93–94.
Twenty-one bodies, four Area Fellowships, Sunday worship at Ranson Hall — and terms that rotate every April, so the work never rests on one pair of hands.
