About Us
Driven by Compassion, Powered by the love of Jesus.
For over three decades, the Gospel Pace Setting Ministries (GPM) has been a beacon of hope and transformation in Pakwach District and across Northern Uganda. Since 1992, we have been more than just a church; we are a family and a faith-based organization deeply committed to the holistic well-being of every person we serve.
Our Mission: The Heart of Everything We Do
- “To teach the people, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” — Matthew 28:19
This scripture is not just a statement on a wall; it is the marching order for every activity we undertake. It is the foundation of our belief, the inspiration for our attitudes, and the reason for our actions. Everything at GPM flows from this divine commission to go, to teach, and to make disciples.

You can expect a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere! Our services typically last about 90 minutes and feature passionate worship, practical and biblical teaching from the Bible (which is our core tool for instruction), and a time of fellowship. We are a diverse family, so come as you are. Each service is designed to equip you to grow in your faith and connect with others.
As a faith-based organization, our calling is holistic. Beyond evangelism, we are committed to community transformation through Christ-led approaches. This involves practical projects and programmes that uplift our community, aligned with our goal to serve both the spiritual and physical well-being of the people in Pakwach and the wider West Nile region.
The best way to get connected is through our Mid-Week Connect Services held in various celebration points across the community. These smaller gatherings are perfect for building deeper relationships. You can also get involved by joining one of our ministry teams or attending our quarterly fellowships, like the marrieds' fellowship.

Our Annual Conference is a key three-day event for 200 of our GPM leaders and partners. It focuses on equipping and unifying the church through intensive training, workshops on improving church service delivery, and powerful team-building activities. It is a pivotal time for refreshing our leaders and strategizing for the year ahead.
Our beliefs are firmly rooted in the Great Commission of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19). We believe in the authority of the Bible for teaching and salvation, the power of prayer, and the importance of worship. Our nine core values—including Love, Generosity, Service, and Unity—guide everything we do. You can read more about them on our "Our Values" page.
We are deeply committed to building capacity in church ministry and leadership. We regularly run training sessions for our members and leaders, focusing on practical Bible study skills and effective ministry. Our goal is to build the capacity of 200 members. Please reach out to our pastoral team to learn about the next available training opportunity.
