Mission & Vision

We, the Christians in the Ahmedabad Diocese, like the Christians in all the dioceses around the world, strive to walk in the foot steps of our leader Jesus Christ and to proclaim to all people of good will his message of love and forgiveness as well as universal brotherhood and sisterhood. Jesus Christ went about doing good to all especially the poor, the neglected and the abandoned like the dalits, lepers, tax collectors and public sinners.

We uphold the freedom guaranteed by our Constitution to profess, proclaim and propagate our Christian religion while stoutly defending the rights and freedom of all people to profess and practise the religion of their choice. With the universal church we abhors forced conversions and the use of foul means to convert or reconvert people from one religion to another. We believe in the religion of love founded by Christ.

Education for Social Change

The Ahmedabad Diocese believes and strives to prepare men and women for others through its formal and informal educational efforts. While striving for the all round progress of children through our education we aim to form our children into useful citizens for themselves and for others in this great country and beyond.

With this goal in mind we run a college, six higher secondary schools and 22 high schools and many more primary and middle schools.

Our non-formal educational programmes include balwadies, remedial classes for weaker students, literacy programmes, adult education and villages libraries.

We also run a number of vocational training centres like industrial training centres, type-writing and computer programmes, tailoring and embroidery, etc.

Mentally challenged children and handicapped people too find appropriate integrated educational programmes run by our religious personnel in the diocese
