Ikamiro Church of Uganda

A parish of the Anglican Diocese of Kigezi, Kabale district is located along Kabale-Kisoro road, branching off at Muko market. It is 3 kilometers away from Muko Market. It started in 1945 with a community of 120 families. It has grown to 550 families today. It offers services to Adults, the youth, and has a Sunday school for children. The vision of the church is “To be a vibrant Christ Centered Church ”. The Mission statement reads: “To fulfill Christ’s Mission through holistic teaching, Evangelism, discipline and healing for healthy and Godly nations.” We have a school with a Nursery school and a Primary School with seven classes and 540 pupils.

Key challenges in the area include very low levels of education in the community which result in low income and low investment. There is also poor health due to HIV/AIDS which affects many people and families.

The parish is currently constructing a bigger church to accommodate the increasing number of Christians. On behalf of the Christians of Ikamiro Church of Uganda Parish, I dedicate our thanks and appreciation to friends in Midland. Thank you so much God bless you.
