The Uganda Union Mission of Seventh-day Adventists has a deep-rooted legacy dating back to 1906, when the first Adventist missionary, E.C. Enns, entered Uganda from South Nyanza, Kenya. Though Enns was the initial contact, it wasn’t until 1927 that the Adventist mission officially took root in Uganda. Political and religious turbulence delayed its establishment, as Adventist missionaries entered a region already divided among Anglican, Catholic, and Muslim missionaries. Despite adversity, the Adventist Church stood firm and eventually established a mission station at Nchwanga in 1927, marking a foundational moment in our history.

Uganda has 4,922 congregations. Organized churches are 1938 companies, 2984. With 638,691 members by March 2026.
