About Us
We are an independent Christian Publishing House & Creative Agency.
WHO WE ARE
We publish Christian books that are true to the Bible and that communicate the gospel.
We are an independent Christian Publishing House and Creative Agency based in Kerala, India, with over 25 years of experience in the Christian publishing industry.
We understand the frustration of pouring your heart into a manuscript—only to have it rejected by traditional publishers. That’s why we founded Gilgal Creations: to support Christian authors like you in bringing quality fiction and non-fiction works to life—books that remain faithful to God’s Word. We are committed to working closely with our authors, helping their voices rise above the noise in today’s crowded market.
OUR VISION
Our vision centers on one thing: the message—the message of the Gospel, the message of God’s Word as revealed in the Book of books, the Bible. Christ’s final command calls us to share His Gospel with the world, and we seek to fulfill that mission by publishing books and empowering authors whose works point people to Jesus and encourage Christ-like maturity. Our goal is to equip readers at every stage of life for faithful living, meaningful work, effective ministry, and global mission.
OUR MISSION
As an evangelical Christian publisher, our mission is to develop and distribute trusted, biblically grounded resources—with integrity and excellence—that lead individuals to know and serve Jesus Christ. We are dedicated to equipping readers of all backgrounds and stages of faith for life, work, ministry, and mission. Through thoughtful, innovative Christian content, we seek to deepen understanding of the faith and inspire a lifelong commitment to Christ.
BEHIND THE NAME
The Hebrew term Gilgal means “circle of stones”.
Gilgal is the name of one or more places in the Hebrew Bible. Gilgal is mentioned 39 times, in particular in the Book of Joshua, as the place where the Israelites camped after crossing the Jordan River (Joshua 4:19 – 5:12).
Gilgal structures have been found only in the Jordan River valley, and in the Samaritan mountains on the edge of the desert.
