ABOUT US

Shalom Bible College is situated at Vadavathoor, Kottayam, in the ‘God’s own country’ – Kerala, in the Christian Heartland of India. Kottayam has achieved a national reputation as the first District in India that gained 100% literacy. It is well known in the tourism globe as the "Land of Letters, Lakes, and Latex".

​

Vadavathoor, Kottayam is a place where God by the mighty move of the Holy Spirit brought many to the full Gospel Truths. Pastor P.M. Philip was a man of God whom the Holy Spirit used mightily as God's instrument in the establishment of Pentecostal work in Kottayam District and its surrounding areas. In addition to what God accomplished in the rest of India through this instrument in God's hand, in 1956 he started Shalom Bible School in order to train christ like servant leaders and pioneer evangelists for the cause of the gospel in India.
