Message from the Bishop Soroti Diocese
The Diocese of Soroti is located in Eastern Uganda and is 307.3 km from Kampala.
Our philosophy as taken from Galatians 6:9, “DO GOOD AND YOU WILL FEEL GOOD.” As a Diocese, we long to see the members of our Diocese doing good to all the members of the body of Christ and to see the whole Church feelinggood as they share fellowship as brothers and sisters in the Lord, who share one calling, one baptism, one Holy Spirit, and a shared hope of going to heaven.
We are committed to preaching the gospel as presented to us in the Holy Scriptures– the Bible. We are a rural Diocese, and being a rural Diocese, a majority of our members are peasants and the main activity done in our Diocese is agriculture. This implies that we majorly work with poor people but who love the Lord Jesus Christ. We keep trusting in the Lord to sustain our Diocese and to grow it to greater heights. We welcome you to pray for us and support us in fulfilling God’s will in serving the people entrusted to our care in this time and season.
