History in the making within UCCSA;

The 29th of November 2008 marked an important day in the history of the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa, (UCCSA) with the graduation of the first batch of qualified lay preachers under the stewardship of the UCCSA Leadership Academy at the historic Moffat Centre in Kuruman. A total of 108 lay preachers graduated after an intensive 1 year programme attracting learners from as far as Zimbabwe.

In Port Elizabeth the Livingstone Hospital is the Provincial Hospital that provides major medical service to the neighboring towns.  According to the UCCSA map, we'd say it covers the whole of the Algoa Region, the Karoo Region and a part of the Outeniqua Region

 The last of the three sessions of the UCCSA Preacher's course finally came to and on the 31^st August 2008 at the historic Moffat Mission Centre in Kuruman where the bible was first translated into Setswana over 150 years ago.

This year marks the fortieth anniversary of the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa.  It was in 1967 when Congregationalists from five different countries came together as four different churches at an assembly in Durban and came out of that same assembly as one united Church.  This was by no means some mean feat; in fact it was a great act of ecclesiastical union that would be followed by others some thirty years or so later.  In fact the act of union was not just an accomplished fact it also was an expression of what the new denomination hoped for, and would struggle to promote in the coming years.
