Faith Christian Church of India was started in August 2017, by our amazing Pastoral Couple, Rev. Dr. Clive Samson and Rev. Sujanna Raj. Both our Pastors were ordained, and have served in the Church of South India (CSI) Diocese for over 15 years. After getting their degrees here in Master of Theological Studies and Doctorate in ministry, they got a call to start a Church for the large Indian community in the St. Louis area, that lacked a Church. They let go of everything and took up the challenge to start the first Indian Church. FCCI was started just like that, one week after the thought  of starting a Church, without any name. Although FCCI was started as a Tamil Church, FCCI had to transform itself into becoming an Indian Church, and was named FCCI by the congregation. FCCI still has a congregation made up of mostly Tamil speaking members, but we have evolved to be able to embrace all of our members. We have members who speak Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Gujarati, even Uzbek, and more. Over the years, FCCI has been a Church not just for Indians, but for other nationalities as well, such as  Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and etc. FCCI stamped its presence in the St. Louis area, with a unique Christmas Musical Event in 2017, bringing together multiple communities in St. Louis. Since then, there has been no looking back for FCCI.
