Our Overseas Mission

For over thirty years SLPC has had a connection with the people and church in Zambia.

In more recent times we have developed a faith sharing relationship with the United Church of Zambia (UCZ) in Kitwe in the copper belt region of Zambia.

We are currently involved in three projects:

Sponsoring students training for ministry within the UCZ at the UCZ University, Mindolo, Kitwe.

Working with the Racecourse Community School, a school that caters for children from the local compound/shanty town.

With UCZ Mindolo Congregation.
