East Africa Annual Conference in Uganda
The United Methodist Church opened her doors in Uganda in 1991. Uganda adds up to Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and Sudan sovereign countries that make up the East Africa Annual Conference.
The church in Uganda has expanded to: 26,040 members, in 71 churches, and 6 districts. This Country however is unique because it hosts the EAAC - UMC Head Office right at the Capital City, Kampala.
This move was in May 2006, after the newly elected Resident Bishop Daniel Wandabulatransfered the East Africa Annual Conference Office from Nairob.
