United Congregational Church of Southern Africa (UCCSA)

UCCSA is a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic church denomination united across seven southern African countries – Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Angola, and Malawi. It was formed on October 3 1967, when Congregational Union of South Africa, the Bantu Congregational Church and the London Missionary Society united. Born out of unity and for unity, their ethos is undergirded by the spirit of ubuntu and “ban aba tshipa tshwaraganeng” (the children of the meerkats look out/care for each other).

Uniting Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa (UPCSA)

UPCSA was formed and constituted in 1999 as the outcome of the union between the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa (RPCSA) and the Presbyterian Church of Southern Africa (PCSA). The UPCSA is committed to promoting the initiatives and theologies from the South towards the establishment of life-flourishing communities and for a just and peaceful socioeconomic order.
