Introduction

Introduction The Swaziland Conference of Churches is the national umbrella organization for evangelicals in Swaziland. It was established in 1929 as Swaziland Missionary Conference which was constituted with twenty missionaries and six Swazi ministers as the founding members in a loosely connected body. Initially, membership of this conference was on an individual basis. By 1964 many of the missions had become churches and a new organizational structure had become necessary. A new constitution and statement of faith was drawn up, membership was formalized and the name was changed to Swaziland Conference of Churches. Through the years Dr David Hynd played a major role in development and continued growth of the Conference. This Conference continued to be the co-coordinating body in the country until 1976 when the World Council of Churches related churches withdrew to form the Council of Swaziland Churches. Simultaneously, the indigenous African churches formed the League of African Churches with the encouragement of King Sobhuza II.

Currently the Conference is the organization under which most evangelical churches and related organizations are grouped with a membership of 89 denominations which are spread all over the country. It is a member of Association of Evangelicals of Africa and the World Evangelical fellowship.

Regions

Introduction :

SCC uses the geographical regions used by government to separate its territory. So, the country is divided into four regions and each region is divided into two sub-regions, and each sub-region is divided into 8-15 Zones. We believe the lifeblood of SCC is in the zones at the grass root level; this is where SCC activity should be taking place. The regions’ committees facilitate the zoning of their region and the election of the zonal committees. Once a sub regional committee is set up we expect it to expand its wings to cover the whole region. There must be sound communication between the regional committee and the office otherwise how are they going to know their responsibilities.

Sub-regions and Zones:

• Lubombo Region
• Manzini Region
• Shiselweni Region
• Hhohho Region:
