The Apostolic Church of India - ACI

The Apostolic Church of India (ACI) was founded in 1970 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, by Pastor Dr. Rev. D. D. K. Rathna Raju. Beginning as a small village ministry in Mannurpet, ACI has grown into a dynamic spiritual and social movement committed to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and serving the poor and marginalized. Through free education, food distribution, clothing support, and community outreach, ACI reflects its mission of faith, compassion, community, and service. Under Pastor Rathna Raju’s visionary leadership, ACI has established churches and ministry centers across Chennai, including Thiruvottiyur, Bharath Nagar, Ennore, Model Lane, Korrukkupet, Velachery, and Vysarpadi. The church conducts worship services, prayer meetings, youth and family programs, rural ministry, and community development initiatives. Looking ahead, ACI continues to expand its reach, serving God and humanity for His glory.
