 The Fulfillment of a Dream for a Town Church in Mbale

From the beginning of the Mbale Mission Team’s establishment in 1995, a town church was an important goal in the overall strategy for mission work in Eastern Uganda. It was the dream of the mission team to establish a working middleclass church with high visibility, dynamic worship services, helpful ministries for youth, women, and men. The town church was to be a model for all rural churches in Bible teaching, discipling, missions, benevolence, administration, accountability, ministries, evangelism, and a broad-based outreach and cooperation to bring Mbale to Christ. Additionally, the Mbale Mission Team wanted to form a worship service where members from different tribes and cultures could come together with ex-patriots and develop a truly international flavor of praise to God.

The first plans for Mbale Church of Christ (MCC) began to take shape when a large donation from the States made it possible for the mission team to look for land within the municipality. After eight months of searching, land was selected and initial payments made in 1998. The first worship service with 35 Christians was held 19 December 1999 – only eight months after construction was started.
