Rev. Vincent’s passion for improving the welfare and development of the wider community is awesome.

Is the executive pastor of Calvary Community Ministries and has influenced its growth in a novel and refreshing way since 1997. He has also extended his talents to youth ministries around Chennai and rural communities in India and its neighbouring countries. He is a pastor, teacher, youth leader and musician.
In his 11 years at CCM, Rev Premnath has brought many innovative ideas to CCM; he has shifted the church’s traditional organisation towards being a Carecell based community and also established the English service at CCM to minister to the non-Tamils students and IT-workers in that reside in Chennai. He is a pastor, teacher, youth leader and musician with a very unique vision. His training ministries focus on youth, who he believes will be the leaders of the future, as well as unity between churches. |
|
|
| Rev Premnath is heavily involved in city level ministry in Chennai. He is the chairman of the CTN Youth Track of Chennai which unifies all denominations of Christianity in this city through the organisation of cultural and sporting programs. |
|
| Like his father, Rev. Premnath’s heart has led him to be actively involved in church planting and mission work to improve the standard of living of those who live in the rural communities in India. He has pioneered CCM mission bases in Northern India and overseen the training of natives from the mission base locations so that they can be missionaries to their own people. In this way he has ensured that the mission bases provide spiritual and social support to the people they serve. |
