The Formation of UCCSA in Zimbabwe
On 3 October 1967, the London Missionary
Society (LMS) which had been in Rhodesia,
now Zimbabwe, for 108 years transformed into
the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa
(UCCSA). The celebrated unity came about through the
coming together of three Congregational Churches,
the LMS, the Bantu Congregational Church (BCC)
and the Congregational Union of South Africa (CUSA).
This transnational church is not only in Zimbabwe but
it cuts across South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and
Mozambique. Having been in existence for fifty years
the UCCSA celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 2017.
