Church of Central Africa Presbyterian - Livingstonia Synod
The Church of Central Africa Presbyterian was created by the evangelistic mission of the Free Church of Scotland and the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa, which subsequently led to Scottish missionaries establishing the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian - Livingstonia Synod, one of the oldest and largest denominations in Malawi, on May 12, 1875.
The Livingstonia Synod, which is located in Northern Malawi,[1][2][3] claims about 25% of the population in Northern Malawi.[4] It has 170 congregations, about 1,000 prayer houses and 200,000 adult members.
It has 24 presbyteries, namely Bandawe, Champira, Chitipa, Dwangwa, Ekwendeni, Engalaweni, Euthini, Henga, Johannesburg, Jombo, Karonga, Lilongwe, Livingstonia, Loudon, Luwerezi, Milala, Misuku, Mpasazi, Mzalangwe, Mzuzu, Ngerenge, Njuyu, Nkhata Bay, Rumphin and Wenya.[5] The Synod office is located in Mzuzu.[6]
