Our Story

Four decades of God’s faithfulness in Bangalore.

Heritage Baptist Church is the labour and toil of faithful missionaries — Miss Helen Sension, Miss Olive Brittain, Miss Swanson, and Dr. & Mrs. Eric (Bobby) Franks — whose two congregations became one family.

1983

Olivet Baptist Church

Begun in Austin Town to reach the Anglo-Indian community.

1987

Grace Baptist Church

Outreach work in Wilson Garden blossoms into a local church.

2000

Two become one

The congregations unite as Olivet-Grace Baptist Church.

2002

A new pastor

2012

A new name

The church takes the name Heritage Baptist Church.

2014

A Bible college

Why the name “Heritage”?

Looking back

We cherish the rich heritage God has given us through all who laboured to make us who we are.

Looking at ourselves

We are reminded that we are God's heritage, His purchased possession, separated for His purposes.

Looking ahead

We desire to leave behind a heritage — a legacy — which would lead others to Christ.
