Our History starts from far back 2004 when we were a combined District called Kanyama Mission District.Below is our brief Histroy.
Kanyama Mission District in 2004 had their Campmeeting closed by Central Zambia Conference (CZC) following members agitation of Sr. Grace Nalipapa (Late) who was the third speaker. The first speaker was Ps. Goliath M. Naini, the second Speaker was Ps. Sailas Chabala while the third was Sr.Grace Nalipapa (Late). The Host Pastor was Ps. David Kayaya.
This prompted the CZC to deny us a Campmeeting in 2005 and at the close of the year 2005, CZC voted to divide Kanyama Mission District into two; East and West. We were named Kanyama west Mission District and at the same time Ps. D. Kayaya was transfered to Chelstone Church District. Kanyama East Mission District had Ps. E. Moyo while we as Kanyama West we had ps. M.M. Chibala who was transfered from Luangwa Mission District.
In 2006, Kanyama West Mission District was fully functional with District Secretaries Elder L.M.Ngoma who carried forward his potifolio from the combined Kanyama Mission District in order to finish his term of office.
