Calvary Mission Center: Transforming Lives Through the Power of the Gospel

Nestled in the heart of Nagpur, India, the Calvary Mission Center (CMC) is a shining beacon of hope, transforming lives through the power of the gospel. Led by the passionate and dedicated Pastor Dinesh Shende, this vibrant multi-faceted ministry is committed to nurturing faith, empowering the local community, and bringing the light of Christ to those in need.

At the core of CMC’s work are its two large slum churches, where around 100 people gather each week for worship and fellowship. These congregations are a testament to the transformative power of the gospel, as many of the attendees have been radically changed by the love of Christ.

In addition to the church services, CMC runs a free vocational Bible training program for youth from diverse backgrounds. The program provides these young men and women with free accommodation, meals, and comprehensive theological and practical training, equipping them to become effective leaders and ministers in their communities.

But CMC’s impact extends far beyond the walls of the church. The ministry is deeply committed to reaching the local community through its various outreach initiatives. One of the most impactful programs is the vocational training for slum women. CMC provides sewing machines, food carts, and assistance in establishing small businesses, enabling these women to become self-sufficient and provide for their families.
