The district centers are at Kigoma, South and North; Rukwa (on Lake Tanganyika’s shores); Mwanza; Geita; Mara; (on Lake Victoria’s shores); and Nyarugusu Refugee camp. The church is now operating in 12 out of 26 provinces of Tanzania Mainland in the United Republic of Tanzania. The FMC in Tanzania is under the supervision of the DRC General Conference and is working to become a Provisional General Conference.
