From its humble beginnings in 1898, the Moravian Church in Western Tanzania (MCWT) today covers a large geographical area. From Lake Victoria in the north and the northern shores of Lake Tanganyika in the west, MCWT ministers in large cities and small villages to the east as far as Itigi and to the south as far as Rungwe. The church counts over 100,000 members and continues the rapid growth that has characterized its ministry for several decades. Active ministries in the Moravian Church in Western Tanzania include evangelistic outreach, education, and community healthcare. MCWT also oversees the mission areas of Kenya, Burundi, Uganda, and Rwanda. The Board of World Mission has been in affiliation with MCWT since 1976.
