Our story

Christian Life Assembly sits in Kigali, Rwanda. It is more than a Sunday address. It is a community gathered for worship, friendship, and service.

The church was founded in 1998 to bring people closer to God and to one another. Since then it has become part of the spiritual life of the city: a spiritual home for individuals and families, and a cell-based church that keeps meeting in homes through the week.

The main campus is at 2 KG 270, KG 9 Avenue, Nyarutarama. CLA describes itself as a multi-national, multi-cultural church. Sister congregations gather in Bumbogo, Busanza, and Nyabisindu.

Mission

CLA believes in the Bible and the power to transform lives through a living relationship with Jesus Christ. We are a cell-based church committed to building relationships within our community, to evangelism, and to equipping believers to reach out to the whole person with the love of Christ.

Vision

Transformed communities through the love of Jesus Christ.
