Celebrating 119th Anniversary of the Gospel in Mizoram

Baptist Church of Mizoram, Gilead (Local Church) and AICS jointly celebrate the 119^th Anivarsary of the arrival of the pioneer missionareis (Rev. FW Savidge and Rev. JH Lorrain) who laid the foundation of the Gospel here in Mizoram at Pastor Thanzinga Chapel, AICS. The two pioneer missionaries had arrived Mizoram (Changsil) on 11^th January, 1894 as Arthington Aborigine Mission. Since 1940s the Mizo Christians celebrate 11^th January as ‘Missionary Day’ as the mark of the entrance of the gospel of Christ here in Mizoram. The two pioneer missionaries are deserved to call ‘Father of Mizo Modern Society’ as they laid various foundations in the Mizo Society i.e. Education, Litterature, Health Care etc.

Happy New Year 2013

After a month of winter (Christmas) break, the college is re-opened on 4^th January, 2013 with the arrival of students from their respective places. We hope and believe that this New Year, 2013 will bring prosperous and fruitful experiences to all the AICSians and well wishers of AICS.

The Ordination took place on Sunday morning of 11th March 2012. Along with Dr. Hnuni, 5 probationary pastors who accomplished 3 years of their probation were also ordained.
