Since 1948, Najjanankumbi Adventist church stands as one of the oldest Adventist fellowships in Uganda. Our beginnings are very humble and the story begins with an evangelist meeting Held by Pr. Weiland, a Scandinavian Missionary, in 1948 in Kibuye, Kampala City. The meeting was successful and the 13 newly baptized members formed the nucleus of our fellowship 70 years ago.

Since then, both Pastors and Laity who have lived in different generations of our existence, have stood the test of the times, and have taken on the Gospel commission tirelessly turning Adventist church Najjanankumbi into a continuously growing, Christ-centered Fellowship. The ministers organized both door-to-door campaigns and Public meetings since the early 1950’s which saw the church grow exponentially in membership and further saw the conversion of Dr. Samson Kisekka – who later was a Vice President of Uganda and Prince Jjuuko a prominent member of the Royal family of Buganda Kingdom.

We began as a small fellowship in a home of a dedicated woman Mrs. Naalongo Pama, which later grew into a bigger fellowship that couldn’t be accommodated in a home. Miraculously God enabled the Government of Buganda Kingdom to give land in kind for church construction in 1954 which was later leased in 1972. From the shambles of a small temporary structure in the mid 1950’s to a 450-seater permanent building today, we see that our existence for 7 decades has seen the image of the Adventist church changed in the entire country.
