The worship service, themed “The Lord has done great things for us”, is set to take place at the Civil Service Sports Stadium (Civo) in Lilongwe, with representatives from the CCAP overseeing the event.
The Moderator of the General Assembly of the CCAP Church of Scotland, Rt Rev Dr Shaw Paterson, is also expected to participate in the Centenary Celebratory Service.
International representatives from churches in Scotland, Ireland, Canada, the Netherlands, South Africa, United States and Zimbabwe have also joined the festivities.
The commemoration holds great importance as it brings together diverse leaders and partners from across the world.
The CCAP, a transnational denomination headquartered in Malawi, comprises five synods.
Malawi is home to three synods: Blantyre, Nkhoma and Livingstonia, while the Zambia Synod and the Harare Synod are located in Zambia and Zimbabwe, respectively.
Established in 1924, the CCAP has significantly impacted evangelism, education and healthcare across various African nations, with Zimbabwe, Malawi and Zambia being some of the beneficiaries.
The CCAP Church, Harare Synod, is actively engaged in various initiatives in collaboration with the Malawi Embassy.
