Scripture as our guide
We hold the Bible as the final authority for faith and practice, studied together rather than handed down.
Rooted in Scripture, gathered in community.
TUCASA Bugando gathers every evening for worship, and sets the Sabbath apart each week from sunset to sunset — holding that rest and community are how faith is practiced.
Our story
A community that gathers every evening.
TUCASA Bugando began as a handful of people studying together on Sabbath afternoons. Today the fellowship gathers every evening for worship, and sets the Sabbath apart from sunset to sunset for rest, study, and service — holding to the conviction that rest and community are not separate from faith, they are how faith is practiced.
What we
Believe
The Sabbath as a gift
From Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, we set aside the week's demands to rest, worship, and be present with one another.
Service to the neighborhood
Faith is lived out beyond the walls of the church — in health, education, and care for those around us.
