Pastor George and Pooja began their pastoral ministry with the English Evening service at UTC in 2008.

In 2015 Pastor George and Pooja moved to Whitefield and began work to reach out to the unreached in the Whitefield area. Once the church in Whitefield settled and was handed to capable hands, Ps.
