The church is the grand mission and vision of the sovereign God where people experience the mediating presence, the transforming grace and the benevolence of Gods goodness in the person and message of Jesus Christ. The church is the laboratory where individual men and women are transformed into the fullness of His Son, Lord Jesus Christ. Its a crucible which moulds and shapes the ordinary into the finest product of the Master-Designer. Its a place where individuals are transformed from a mere creation of God into Gods masterpiece.
Vision
Our vision is to see a visible dynamic transformational Church in every village, colony, town and city of our country and beyond.
Purpose
The Church Development Department exists to see worshipping communities established in every village, colony, town and city of our nation and beyond, thereby to glorify God and fulfil the Great Commission of our Lord. This is being realized by obediently going into the world and making Disciples of Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, equipping the co-workers and believers to form a community of believers and empowering them to radiate Christ-like nature in their living context.

INEC, The Church Planting endeavour of HBI had her humble beginning with 17 workers in 1987 and grew to be a significant Church Planting Movement in Asia reaching communities and transforming lives. It was first called as the National Evangelical Fellowship (NEF) to indicate its national commitment and later as Indian National Evangelical Fellowship (INEF) to highlight the indigenous methods of fulfilling the mission of the Lord and finally rechristened as Indian National Evangelical Churches (INEC) to signify the ecclesial function in transforming lives and discipling communities. God enabled INEC to fulfil the task of reaching the nations and thus becoming global and international in the 25th year of its existence (2012). The God of the Missions enlarged the territories of INEC by helping to transcend beyond the nation to impact communities far and wide.

From the modest beginnings, INEC witnessed the indescribable presence of God and the mediating presence of His Spirit, as scores and scores of lives are transformed by the sharing of the good news of Jesus Christ by ordinary Church planters of INEC. INEC in its three decades of existence had a foretaste of the work of the Spirit of God in diverse communities across the length and breadth of India and beyond. The leadership and the task force of INEC are committed to disseminating the word of God to transform lives and communities. All of the transformational outcomes indicate not the skill, efforts, endeavours and initiatives of INEC or of its leadership but poignantly reflect the glory of God as people and communities are led from darkness into marvellous light.
