History of DBF

Delhi Bible Fellowship began as a house church in 1968. Under God’s grace and direction, Delhi Bible Fellowship grew and planted other churches so that there are currently 17 DBF congregation/worship services and 9 mission congregations across Delhi and NCR.

Delhi Bible Fellowship was started with nine people in the year 1968 as a house church. TEAM missionary Murry Cargter desired to plant a Bible believing church in Delhi which could be a potential home church for the people living in the city, and also be a unifying influence for a number of evangelical organizations operating without strong local church support. DBF’s first English service was held in Pastor Carter’s living room in Nizamuddin, on the second Sunday of December 1968.

As a founding pastor said ‘DBF was started in HIS heart’. The ministry of DBF has been touching the hearts of many people across Delhi and beyond over these 50 years. From small beginnings, DBF has become one of the fastest growing churches in Delhi. Effectiveness of the ministry can be witnessed, 112 cell groups, 125 outreach programs conducted throughout Delhi and NCR. DBF has also identified, encouraged, trained, groomed and prepared excellent teachers and pastors who have been serving the Lord in Delhi, nation and outside the country.

DBF continues to keep focus on the following:

  • Centrality of Scripture – Word of God as the Center of all ministries
  • Priority for Evangelism and mission
  • Culture of giving, supporting and caring

The growth of DBF is the work of the Holy Spirit. No one can take credit or claim credentials for the growth and effectiveness. This is happening inspite of may of our shortcomings, mistakes, weakness, un-wise decisions and less dependence on God in prayer. We must acknowledge the hand of God and the work of the Sovereign Lord for all that is happening in and through us.
