United Congregational Church of Southern Africa

The LMS initiated its work in the Cape Colony in 1799, led by missionaries like Dr. Theodorus van der Kemp.

The first Congregational church in Cape Town was established by them in 1801. Notable LMS missionaries, including David Livingstone, extended their evangelical efforts among the Tswana and Amandbele peoples.

Despite a period of transition where Richards and many members joined the Methodist church, a portion retained their congregational heritage.

Currently, the church in Mozambique has 13,400 members in 27 congregations, primarily located in Inhambane, Gaza Province, and Maputo.
