Who We Are

A Gospel-Centered Community for All Nationskathmandu valley

Welcome to Kathmandu International Fellowship, a viabrant, Spirit-filled, Christ-centered church family where people from every nation, culture, language, and Christian tradition are invited to gather around the good news of Jesus Christ.

mission

In a world often divided by culture, nationality, and denomination, we believe that the cross of Christ unites us as one family. Our identity is not first found in our backgrounds, traditions, or preferences, but in the saving grace of Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us and rose again in victory.

At KIF, we joyfully welcome believers from diverse Christian traditions—Protestant, Evangelical, Anglican, Baptist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, independent fellowships, and many others—who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and desire to grow together in the gospel.

Our Foundation: The Gospel of Jesus Christ

The gospel is the heart of everything we do:

Jesus Christ lived the life we could not live, died the death we deserved, and rose again to give eternal life to all who trust in Him.

The cross is not merely a symbol for us—it is the center of our worship, our fellowship, our mission, and our hope. Because of Christ’s sacrifice, people from every tribe, language, people, and nation are invited into God’s family.

A Church Family for Every Nation

Whether you are:

  • A long-term resident of Nepal,
  • An international worker,
  • A student,
  • A traveler,
  • A diplomat,
  • A local believer,
  • Or someone exploring the Christian faith,

you are welcome here.

We seek to be a community marked by:

  • The Gospel
  • Biblical truth
  • Gospel-centered worship
  • Christlike love
  • Prayerful dependence
  • Mutual encouragement
  • Global mission

Our Prayer

Our prayer is that every person who walks through our doors would encounter not merely a church service, but the living Christ Himself. We desire to be a community where the beauty of the gospel is displayed through our unity, our worship, and our love for one another.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes… For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed – a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith. (Romans 1:16-17)

Welcome to Kathmandu International Fellowship.

We believe children are a vital part of our church family.


KIF-KIDS join the adult worship service fully on the 2nd and last Saturday of the month for singing, worship, and prayer. On the 1st and 3rd Saturdays, after singing, worship, and announcements, we pray for them before they go to their special classes.

OUR PASTORS Gyan and Chumlano Lama

Gyan and Chumlano Lama have been a team since 2009 when they married in Mumbai. Gyan had been in Mumbai for about five months to open his own Martial Arts (Shito-Ryu Karate) Academy When he received the Lord in 2001. Gyan and Chumlano were involved in pastoral and worship ministry at Bombay Baptist Church and several other field ministries back in Mumbai. Following their call to church planting, they moved to Kathmandu in 2011 with their first child, Avishai when he was just 3 months old. Kathmandu International Fellowship was birthed in the living room in 2012 with the vision to reach out to English-speaking Nepalese and Internationals. Since moving to Kathmandu, the family has grown.
