Not long after the Sonrise Babies Home was established in 2009 the Sonrise Community Church was established led by Pastor Ivan Mukulu. It has grown greatly since 2010 and is currently located adjacent to the Sonrise Babies Home in Jinja, Uganda.

With God leading and much faith, the Sonrise Community Church established 13 other churches located in various southern Uganda provinces.

There is a tremendous need to raise up biblically sound pastors, evangelist and youth leaders in Uganda. With the help of several of Pastor Ivan’s understudies and visiting pastors from the USA, we graduated our first group of 14 pastors in July of 2018.

Study duration is about 2 years. Our financial needs include curriculum, pastoral stipends, vehicle fuel, Bibles, notebooks, construct modest rain proof worship locations, food and rent for training location in Kamuli Uganda.

This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.  Hebrews 7:1-3 (NIV)
