Historic Renaming: CBA Becomes Zomi Baptist Churches of India

Lamka, 12 Dec 2025: In a historic landmark decision, the 66th General Council of the Chin Baptist Association (CBA), held at the CBA Diamond Jubilee Hall in New Lamka on 11 December 2025, approved the renaming of the Chin Baptist Association to the Zomi Baptist Churches of India (ZBCI).

The motto of the association is: “Live for Christ.”

“If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.” - Romans 14:8 (NRSV)
