About IGSM
India Graduate School of Missiology (IGSM) is a Bible School formed in 1999, in the outskirts of Tiruvallur near Chennai.
Our vision: Training the trainers, equipping the laborers, enhancing the harvest. We believe in the Trinity and our mission is to train and equip men and women of God holistically in terms of understanding the word of God, preaching, teaching and ministering among the downtrodden in India. Our campus is a beautiful six acre one located outside the city and filled with beautiful plants and trees. Our goal is to provide a residential program accredited by The Asia Theological Association (ATA) that would cater to the needs of everyone in India.
Come! Join us!
