About us

Centre for Global Leadership Development is a premier institution of the Assemblies of God established to prepare women and men to serve God as servant-leaders. Founded in Bangalore in the year 1951 with the name Southern Asia Bible Institute, the name of the institution was changed to Southern Asia Bible College offering graduate and post-graduate theological programs offered to prepare men and women for the transforming ministry of the church in the pentecostal tradition. 

SABC is accredited by the Asia Theological Association, an association of more than 150 Evangelical theological institutions in 22 nations. 

In order to facilitate its ever-increasing mission of the institution, the Board of Directors decided to change the name of the institution to Centre for Global Leadership Development in the year 2007. Since then, the Centre for Global Leadership Development (CGLD) has continued to grow in its ministry to prepare leaders for the Church and the World.

As we celebrate our Platinum Jubilee, we thank God for His faithfulness in continuing the legacy of raising leaders for the Church and Marketplace. Join hands with us, whether it is fulfilling your personal call or partnering to promote the God-given vision!
