A family of faith in the heart of Kampala
Tumaini Evangelical Lutheran Church of Uganda Ltd is a Christian ministry registered in Uganda under the Companies Act, Cap 106, as a company limited by guarantee. Our name, Tumaini, means "hope" — and that is exactly what we exist to bring.
Hope through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and hope through practical care for the people we serve.
We are a Bible-believing church guided by the Holy Spirit, committed to preaching and teaching the Word of God with power, authority, and love.
Our work is built around a few key commitments
Worship & Spiritual Growth
We conduct church services, baptisms, Holy Communion, seminars, crusades, workshops, and marriage ceremonies — creating space for believers to grow in faith and understanding.
Raising Up Leaders
We are committed to training, appointing, and ordaining pastors, teachers, and gospel ministers, and to establishing Bible schools and theological institutions that equip the next generation of church leadership.
Education
We believe in the power of education to transform lives. Our vision includes opening schools, colleges, and learning centers to promote the educational welfare of children and communities across Uganda.
Caring for the Vulnerable
A central part of who we are is caring for orphans, widows, widowers, the elderly, the blind, the sick, and street kids. We believe the church has a responsibility to stand with the most vulnerable among us.
Community Empowerment
We work to empower people to access social services and improve their standard of living — including supporting members through financial pooling, soft loans for small enterprise, and self-help programs during times of sickness or loss.
Partnership
We actively cooperate with other churches, missions, and organizations — locally and internationally — that share our vision of peace, service, and the gospel.
