About
OUR VISION
To see Kampala renewed by gospel of Jesus Christ.
OUR MISSION
To make mature and multiplying disciples of Jesus who impact the city.
OUR DNA:
At Cross Fellowship our aim is to be disciples and to make disciples marked by the three Ts, each T representing a key aspect of our DNA.
1. Treasured by God. Our vision is to cultivate disciples who, through a profound understanding of the gospel, authentically live out their identity as God’s treasured people. The gospel reveals that we are profoundly valued by God the Father, who demonstrated His love when we were His enemies by giving His only Son. Furthermore, He continues to work all things for our good. Our aspiration is to witness individuals living securely, rooted in the knowledge that they are dearly loved children of God.
2. Treasuruing Christ supremely. We aspire to be a community that treasures Christ above all else. Recognizing Christ as the greatest treasure, our goal is to witness individuals knowing and loving Him more than self, money, fame, or any other pursuit. Our vision is to foster disciples who live distinctly different lives from the prevailing culture because their allegiance to Christ surpasses all other priorities.
3. Transforming people by the Spirit.
We aim to unleash individuals who are both equipped and Spirit-filled to catalyze transformation in others through the Holy Spirit, as they bear witness to Jesus Christ in every facet of their lives. This overarching mission defines our purpose as a church, and we earnestly desire that everyone within our community is adequately prepared to live on mission with Jesus, relying on the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Believing in God’s plan to bring about transformation through local churches, we are wholeheartedly committed to the task of raising up church planters and actively engaging in the establishment of new churches.
WHO IS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST?
A disciple is someone who knows Jesus as Savior and Lord, follows him, and reflects him in life.
Galatians 2:20
OUR STORY:
Cross Fellowship Church began with leaders in whom God had done a work and saw a need for a Christ-centered church in Kampala. They saw that although Kampala was filled with Churches, yet the need for churches that faithfully proclaimed God’s word, the Bible, and were centered on Christ was very great. Derrick Sekamalira and Joseph Matovu had served for many years in Kampala making disciples among homeless children in the city and they began praying and talking about planting a church in our city that would would make mature disciples of Jesus Christ.
Over the years, Derrick Sekamalira, Joseph Matovu, and later joined by Caleb Nakina whom Derrick met while at Emmanuel Baptist church in Nairobi, began to seriously consider planting a Bible saturated church around the Kansanga area because of their passion to reach university students and families around the area.
After returning from training in London, Joseph began a Bible study at his home in Bunga, and which Derrick and his wife joined after they returned from a season of ministry in Chicago, USA. Caleb later joined the team with his wife after he returned from training in London. Cross Fellowship began meeting in September 2019 at Refuge and Hope in Kansanga. However, the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a transition to online gatherings for a period of time. Cross Fellowship has since been a church committed to being a Christ-centered church that makes disciples who impact our city.
