The Evangelical Church of India (ECI) is a Christian denomination in India. It operates the Allahabad Bible Seminary[1] in Allahabad, the Calcutta Bible Seminary in Kolkata and the Madras Theological Seminary and College in Chennai.[2] It came into existence due to the activity of the Oriental Missionary Society.[3] The church has more than 100,000 members.[4] The denomination is relatively progressive and, in 2012, ordained its first openly transgender pastor.[5] Its core vision is "One Lakh Churches, One Crore Believers" in 2056.
