WHO WE ARE
We are a Church catalyzing spiritual, social and economic renewal to our neighborhoods, city and nations in Jesus name.
Vision 2060
To see 300 churches planted and established around the world, each with at least 1000 people who are being equipped to make more Christ disciples. We purpose that every church plant will have the capacity to meet the spiritual, social and economic needs of its community by establishing a church building, school, hospital and an economic-skills center.
Our
history
Christ Way mission started as a home fellowship right in the living room of our founders- Pastor Apollo and his late wife Annet Kaggwa. They were both ministers at Gaba community Church and Africa renewal Ministries and that’s where the call to plant a church and ministry was nurtured. In 2013, they left Gaba and by faith went to Najjera (current ministry location)- a place they knew none and started a fellowship called Life Talk. They went to the streets with fliers handing them over to strangers inviting them to their home. The fellowship grew to about 30 committed people within a year and those few people were the nucleus that formed Christ way Church. In 2016 the church was launched and currently meeting in the locations within a distance of 6 kilo meters. Once a home cell, the church is now 450 people combined with 20 Missional communities that serve to impact both believers and non-believers in the community.

Apollo grew up in a very poor family of 16 children where the Mother was a street vendor and Father a casual laborer. He and his siblings lived on a less than 3 dollars a day.
Because his parents could not afford paying school fees for all the children, he was sought out by a church and helped through school by Compassion International. It’s through this sponsorship that he was exposed to the potential in him which would have otherwise been wasted in a culture of poverty.
His life mission is to help others become what God created them to be. Apollo started preaching in 1995 when he was in grade 2 high school and he is currently a sought after preacher in the city of Kampala.
