Initially, they decided to name the church "Air Field Ao Baptist Church." However, in 1985, they renamed it "Aoyimti Baptist Church," which remains its name to this day.
After establishing the church on May 15, 1966, they gathered the next day (May 16, 1966) at Mr. Rongsennungba’s place to make a covenant to unite in faith. Once they identified the church location, Lt. Imkongmangyang prayed and asked for God’s blessing over the land. Despite their small number, they contributed resources among themselves, including pillar posts, money, and other materials for the church building. The construction took nearly two months, resulting in a church building measuring 25x15 square feet. It was dedicated by Lt. Memen Marak, Pastor of Eralibill Garo Baptist Church, on July 17, 1966. The total cost for the church building was Rs. 850.
On the day of dedication, Lt. Bendangwati (Mongchen), Pastor from Kohima Ao Baptist Church, attended the program with four church members and donated Rs. 50. The preacher’s group from Kohima donated Rs. 10. Lt. Tatongkaba, Pastor from Dimapur Ao Baptist Church, attended the dedication with a co-worker and donated a pulpit and a chair.
The church was affiliated with Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang (ABAM) on January 17, 1976.
In 2016, the church celebrated its 50th anniversary (jubilee). Over the past 50 years, the church has made significant progress in spirituality and infrastructure. Currently, the church has 470 households and 1,160 baptized members, with nine full-time workers and seven deacons tirelessly serving the community.
