First Daughter Patience Rwabwogo, the founder and lead pastor of Covenant Nations Church (CNC), is set to be consecrated as an Episcopal Bishop of Covenant Nations Churches in Uganda and beyond.
The consecration ceremony is scheduled for August 23, 2026, and will coincide with celebrations marking the church’s 20th anniversary. The event will be held at the church’s headquarters in Luzira, Kampala, and is expected to attract religious leaders, worshippers, and political dignitaries from Uganda and abroad, including President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
The consecration will be officiated by internationally renowned American evangelist Bishop Dr. LaDonna Osborn. Also expected to attend are Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye and his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye, whom Pastor Patience describes as her spiritual parents.
The celebrations will also feature worship ministers Emmanuel Roro and Helen Yilma from Israel.
20 Years of Ministry
The anniversary marks two decades since Covenant Nations Church began as a small house fellowship before growing into a ministry with a presence in Uganda and beyond.
Reflecting on the milestone, Pastor Patience described the church’s growth as a testimony to God’s faithfulness.
“The year began with the assurance from Luke 1:37 that ‘nothing will be impossible with God,’ and we have watched that promise unfold before our eyes.”
She added:
“As we look back over 20 years, we are overwhelmed by God’s goodness. Covenant Nations Church has exceeded every expectation, growing from a humble house church into a ministry touching lives across Uganda and beyond.”
“A Greater Responsibility to Serve”
Pastor Patience said her consecration is not a personal achievement but a divine calling that comes with a greater responsibility to serve God’s people.
“As scripture reminds us, promotion comes from the Lord. I receive this calling with humility and gratitude because it carries greater responsibility to serve God’s people.”
She also invited Christians from Uganda and beyond to join the celebrations and give thanks for what she described as God’s faithfulness throughout the church’s 20-year journey.
