Zoe Leadership Institute

Our Story

Zoe Leadership Institute [ ZLI] is evolved after many consultations among the church leaders working in Northern part of India. Even though there are many theological institutions in India, for Christian ministers and laypersons, quality theological education is inaccessible due to the cost involved and residency demand. Moreover, English is the predominant language of communication in many of these theological institutions. In such a context, ZLI is formed to provide cost effective, quality education in Hindi without leaving the workplace or ministerial context. ZLI is functioning under Zoe trust, registered under the provision of the Indian Trusts Act, 1882.

Mission Statement

Zoe Leadership Institute seeks to provide quality academic programs in indigenous language prioritizing biblical authority and contextual church discipleship, by training men and women.

Vision Statement

The vision of Zoe Leadership Institute is to become a leading virtual theological institution in indigenous languages from grassroot to post graduate level, and thus accomplish its mission for the glory of God.
