About US

We grow businesses by creating experiences people love

The Church Commissioners was originally a department of the Church of Uganda established to act as custodians and advisers to the Registered Trustees of the Province of the Church of Uganda on matters related to Church Assets. However, during the Provincial Assembly of August 2004, the Trustees refocused the strategy of the business entities of the Church from being run as semi charitable/business entities to becoming fully fledged business entities that are managed on business principles to generate income.  This led to the formation and registration of the Church Commissioners Holding Company Ltd, (CCHCL) in November 2005, as a company limited by guarantee, with shareholding held by 33 Diocesan Bishops of the Church of Uganda (COU) and one for the Church of the Province of Uganda.
