Accountable Leadership

Servant leadership across Tanzania—bishops strengthening doctrine, mission, and pastoral care in every region.

Overview
Church & Governance

FPCT’s governance reflects New Testament patterns: servant leadership, plurality of elders, and mission-driven oversight. National officers serve the whole movement; regional bishops guide local mission, doctrine, and pastoral care; local pastors and elders shepherd congregations on the ground.
