We believe that unity not only strengthens our fellowship but also magnifies our collective impact in advancing God’s kingdom. Together, united in purpose and led by the Holy Spirit, we continue to achieve significant milestones in fulfilling the mission entrusted to us by Christ.

The administrative units under the NTUC—including conferences, fields, and institutions—form the operational foundation of our ministry. Under the leadership of the presidential office, these entities work diligently to ensure strategic direction, effective coordination, and meaningful support to all church activities and ministries across the Union.
In addition, our educational institutions, health centers, and media ministries continue to play vital roles in fulfilling our mission. Through schools, hospitals, and community outreach initiatives, we extend Christ’s love in practical ways, offering hope, education, and healing to the communities we serve. These institutions stand as beacons of faith, service, and compassion—truly embodying the ministry of Jesus Christ in Northern Tanzania.
