  • Sunday School : Mr. Imsangbangba, hailing from Longjang village speaks about his conviction in evangelising the children. He narrated the story about how he had been residing at Kumlong since 1960. Recalling the happenings how he had visited houses to met children, teaching them God’s word and conducting prayer fellowship as there was no separate building to conduct Sunday School during those days. However, only in the month of February, 1969, taking the advice and permissions of parents Sunday School was conducted at Kumlong Primary School for a considerable period of time.
  • Children Evangelism : Ms. T. Amongla from Chungliyimsen village and Ms. Alemla Yaden hailing from Anaki village, were sent by Church workers to attend a child teachers’ training at Mokokchung Town Baptist Church . With zeal and enthusiasm, and the knowledge gained from the training, with faith they started the children Evangelism. The first batch had an enrollment of 76 children. Later in the year 1994, after the Kumlong Baptist Fellowship was officially announced as Kumlong Baptist Church, the Deacon Board forwarded the believers in a general public meeting to decide about continuing Children Evangeslim. The response was postive and since then, the service is held for children till date.
