Our Organisation
Interserve India is a Registered Charitable Society existing since 1986, a community of followers of Christ nurturing fullness of life for all. Our work is done in partnership, alongside our community of faith and the wider society, reflecting the person of Christ in and through our lives.
Our LEGACY
Our genesis can be traced back to 1819 as a women’s movement. Our foremothers were pioneers in the fields of education, medical services, and community development in India. Their focus was on health and education for women and children. Their faith inspired them to serve and through their service reflect Christ. Over time our foremothers have fostered several ministry initiatives that have made an impact on contemporary society.
The legacy of the work of Interserve India lies in pre-independent India.The context of India has changed. Independence began the journey of the work in India becoming independent and in 1986 Interserve India was registered as a society with Indian National Governance and Leadership.
Interserve India is a unique entity within the worldwide fellowship of Interserve.
In the current day, Interserve India is involved in different facets of society, through the work of Partners, who use their professional skills to see Jesus Christ transform lives and communities.
Our people
Interserve India has carried on the legacy by emphasising the importance of professions in our service to the community. Interserve India has people serving across the country.
