Grace Calvary Fellowship India was established in 2003 in Odisha, inspired by an Australian missionary’s dedication to serve the community and the call to reach the unreached. Registered under a TRUST in India, GCFI is a faith-based charitable organization focused on sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Pastor Sanjita Pani, who felt God’s call to ministry at age 30, has a Bachelor’s degree in Education and is married to Mamina Pani with one son, Steven. Together, they founded GRACE CALVARY FELLOWSHIP to lead many to Christ, plant churches, equip missionaries, and implement community development programs, with God raising support to fulfill His Great Commission.

Statement Of Faith
We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God,
without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of
man and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith, life and conduct.
We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three
persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe Jesus Christ, without any change in His eternal deity, became man through
conception by the Holy Spirit and virgin birth and that He died on the cross, a perfect and
complete sacrifice, in our stead and for our sins according to the Scriptures. He rose bodily
from the dead and ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He
is now our High Priest and Advocate.
We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during
this age, to convict of sin and regenerate the sinner upon believing in Christ, at the time of
regeneration baptizing the believer into the one body, of which Christ is the head, and to
indwell, guide, instruct, fill and empower the believer for godly living and service.
We believe that man was directly created by God in His own image, but fell into sin. The
entire human race is, therefore, lost and only through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, and
regeneration of the Holy Spirit, can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
We believe that the atoning death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only
ground of justification and salvation for all who believe, and that only such as receive Jesus
Christ by personal faith are born of the Holy Spirit and by Him are sealed to the day of
redemption.
We believe in the personal, imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ and that the hope of His
appearing has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead, of the believer to everlasting
blessedness and joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting and
conscious punishment.
We believe that the Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in
Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of
Christ, of which He is the head.
We believe that water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the
Church during this present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation.
We believe that all the saved should live in such manner as will honor and glorify and not
bring reproach upon their Saviour and Lord, and that it is commanded by God to remain
separate from false doctrines and sinful pleasures, practices and associations.
We believe in the existence of angels who worship God and minister to believers. We also
believe in the existence of Satan, the devil, a fallen angelic being who, with his demons,
opposes God, His people and His work, but over whom Christians can have spiritual victory.
