Since founded, as 98% of Chin People are Christians, the CCIT stands as a training center for community leadership and development. From 1953, the CCIT produced more than one thousand community leaders (Diploma, Bachelor and Master Degree holders). The CCIT is standing by the support of Chin Baptist Convention operating fund (from the contribution of 870 local churches). The Institute administration is taken by the board of trustees and faculty council. From the last two decades the college produces 35 community leaders per-anum. The college has enough accommodation for 150 students and 15 faculty and 9 supporting staffs in its campus.

The observation and survey was made frequently. The land covers 100 acres, elevation 3500-4000 feet; the soil ph was 5.4 – 7.5 that good to plant vegetables and various fruit trees.
