About Us
It is a place where the Ashramites, dedicate/rededicate lives for the cause of His Gospel in humility pledging for holy, sincere, moral, ethical life according to the laws of His Kingdom, as the Bible talks about the life of purity of inner genuineness.
Our Mission
We ashramites offer an opportunity for any or all people to be exposed as a group to Jesus Christ in confession, surrender and obedience in order to be transformed and made over again.
What of Sattal Christian Ashram ?
This is a Vanaprastha ashram, where one could dwell with their family. Though stewardship of this ashram is vested with the Methodist Church in Southern Asia, this ashram is yours, ours and God's. Its principal program is held every year during May and June. These sessions attract a large number of Indian people - Christians and non-Christians alike, to experience disciplined Group-living. Our Mission has proved to be success for 80 years. The model of this ashram has been adopted as a universal form in the United Christian Ashrams in many countries. Still Sat Tal Christian Ashram remains the spring-head of the Ashram Movement of Evangelicals.
