About Us — Kansanga Parish C.O.U

Our Story

Rooted in the Gospel. Growing for Generations.

St. Apollo Kivebulaaya Kansanga is named after one of East Africa's pioneering African evangelists, whose faith and missionary zeal lit a path for the Gospel across our region.

From a small community of believers, our parish has grown into a thriving congregation of over a thousand Christians — a place where families worship together, the next generation is discipled, and Christ is proclaimed in word and deed.

We remain a Church of Uganda parish under the Province of the Anglican Communion — faithful to Scripture, the historic creeds and the Book of Common Prayer.

Parish Priest

Rev. Alex Kyobe

Rev. Alex Kyobe was born on Sunday, September 27, 1981. He accepted Christ in September 1995 while in Primary Five, marking the start of his spiritual journey. His devotion began earlier in 1992 when he joined the Namirembe Cathedral Choir. He studied Mathematics and Physics, earning a Bachelor of Science with Education from 2004 to 2007. From 2007 to 2019, he taught at Mengo Senior School and served as a compassionate class teacher. He was also Librarian of the Namirembe Cathedral Choir from 1998 to 2009. Between 2014 and 2018, he was deeply involved in the choir’s mission and became Choir Master of the Namirembe Diocesan Choir. In 2014, he married Christine N. Kyobe, strengthening his family life. He later pursued a Master of Divinity at UCU from 2019 to 2021, which prepared him for greater ministry. He served as Catechist at St. Paul Nsaggu Butega, then as Reverend at St. Stephen’s Luzira COU from 2022 to 2023, embodying lifelong commitment to faith, education, and service.

"Beloved in Christ, greetings in the name of our Lord. As a parish, we remain committed to worship, discipleship, and service, seeking to glorify God in all we do."

What We Believe

Our Faith in Summary

We believe the Bible — Old and New Testaments — is the inspired Word of God, supreme authority in all matters of faith and life.

We worship one God, eternally existing in three Persons — Father, Son and Holy Spirit — as confessed in the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds.

Salvation is the gracious gift of God, received by faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the only Saviour and Lord.

We celebrate the two great sacraments instituted by our Lord — Baptism and the Holy Communion — as visible signs of God's grace.

We are one parish within the Church of Uganda, part of the global Anglican Communion, sent into the world to make disciples of all nations.
