History


The Angami Baptist Church Council (ABCC) is one of the twenty constituent members of the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC). Its headquarter, Kohima, is the second station of the American Baptist Foreign Missionary Society in Nagaland. It is much to the credit of the sacrifice and contribution of the foreign missionaries that today, there are about 30,000 baptized members from 104 churches working together under the ABCC. In 1946, the Rev. J. E. Tanquist started a vernacular Angami Naga Bible School with a view to train and provide leadership to natives in the local churches. However, as the Indo-Naga political problem heightened, all foreign missionaries were made to leave the area. Due to political turmoil and financial constraints, the Bible school could not continue beyond the mid-sixties. However, many students of the vernacular Bible school took up leadership roles and nurtured the churches, and at the same time propagated the gospel in spite of extreme hardship. Since then, the Baptist Church in Kohima was left without adequate training facility till the establishment of Shalom Bible Seminary in 1996.

Mission


A Community-sponsored Institute for Equipping Servant Leaders to Impact the Church and Society in Nagaland and beyond with the Word of God” We believe in: The divine inspiration, authenticity and final authority of the sixty six books of the Bible as the Word of God, the only rule of faith and practice for Christian believers. One personal God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His humanity, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His atoning death, His bodily resurrection on the third day, His ascension, His priestly intercession, His personal return in power and glory to finally judge the living and the dead, and to consummate His Kingdom. The Holy Spirit, His work of regeneration, sanctification and indwelling in the life of believers, enabling them to live a holy life, to teach and to witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations. The creation of man in the image of God, his willful fall into sin, standing in need of regeneration, justification and salvation by grace through faith in Christ, and the bodily resurrection of all human beings, either to eternal life, or to eternal condemnation. The spiritual unity of all believers in Christ Jesus, our Lord, forming the Church, the Body of Christ, visibly expressed in worship and service.
