Our Origin Story

Mwakalundi Baptist Church was born out of a Pentecost-season outreach. As the Word was preached across the community, many responded in faith. The very first worship service was held outdoors, beneath a tree, where a founding group of believers gathered to form the church's first membership.

A Day of Baptism

In the early life of the church, 80 believers were baptized — a milestone that marked Mwakalundi's transition from an outreach gathering into an established local congregation rooted in its community.
