WELCOME FROM THE GENERAL SECRETARY

As a General Secretary of the Baptist Union of Uganda I welcome all seekers, partners, churches, volunteers, researchers and professional practitioners to the ministry of the Baptist Union of Uganda through our website. I am glad that you have chosen to visit our website today. I trust that you will find your place to be involved to support the ongoing work of this ministry. I am happy also to announce that as Baptists; we are a community of “born again” Christians in Uganda who adhere to the teaching and principles of the Bible both in faith and practice.

Baptists began their work in Uganda as early as 1962 with the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention in the United States of America who approved a medical project to be carried out in East Africa by Dr. Hal and Pat Boone a Southern Baptist Missionary. The couple moved to Uganda as first missionary to operate a mobile clinic in towns and villages around the city of Jinja and was later joined by Rev. Webster and Betty Carroll in 1963. Both Dr. Boone and Rev. Webster worked with the nationals to offer preaching, teaching, healing, visiting and organizing churches in Uganda.

In 1981, the Baptist Union of Uganda (B.U.U) was founded and registered as a Christian organization, and it functions as an overarching church body of the Baptist churches in Uganda. I am happy where we are today and where we are going. The organization has national secretariat offices at the Baptist House at Wandegeya on Bombo road, block 38, plot 42, Kampala, Uganda with a total of 1,800 member churches and 100 registered schools on average 300 students per school across the country of Uganda. We give God the glory for his faithfulness to the Baptist work in Uganda.
