Our Story
How It All Began
In 2017, in a modest rented hall in Pune, Maharashtra, a small gathering of believers met with nothing but a shared conviction — that God was not finished with this city, and that an authentic encounter with His presence could change everything. There was no building, no budget, and no five-year plan. Just open hearts, open Bibles, and the belief that if they made room for God to move, He would show up. He did — and HigherLife Fellowship International was born.
What began as a handful of people in one room did not stay contained to one room for long. As lives were transformed, so was the vision — one branch became several, one city became many, and within a few short years HigherLife had taken root across India and then beyond its borders. Today, the family spans more than 120 branches in over 10 nations, each one carrying the same heartbeat that started in Pune: encounter God, find true family, and live a Higher Life.
Today, more than 230,000 people around the world call HigherLife home — from bustling cities to small towns, from lifelong believers to those taking their very first step of faith. The story that started in a rented hall is still being written, one branch, one Sunday, and one changed life at a time. And there is still room at the table for you.
