The dedication of Apex SDA Church on 5 July 2026 marked a defining moment in the congregation's history.
Dr Ndala Kayongo, with Lusaka Conference leaders, officially dedicated the church, celebrating years of prayer, commitment, sacrifice, and spiritual growth.
The theme, โThus Far the Lord Has Led Us,โ reflects the congregationโs gratitude for the past and hope for the future.
The dedication was not just about a building, but a celebration of a spiritual home shaped by membersโ faith and perseverance, where generations gather to worship and grow in Christ.
Today, that promise is increasingly reflected in the life of the church, as members strengthen their spiritual bonds, welcome new believers and create a welcoming environment where individuals and families can encounter Jesus Christ.

Apex SDA Church recently constructed and decorated a new baptismal pool, making it easier to conduct baptismal services.
The baptismal pool symbolizes the churchโs commitment to nurturing faith, welcoming new believers, and celebrating the decision to follow Jesus Christ.
In Christianity, baptism expresses repentance, spiritual renewal, and the start of a new life in Christ. It is a public declaration of faith and commitment to walk with Jesus.
For Apex SDA Church, the new facility is a visible testimony of spiritual growth and ongoing commitment to sharing the Gospel and bringing souls to Christ.
Each baptism will reflect transformation, hope, and a personal encounter with the Saviour.
Looking ahead, the pool represents both a new facility and the promise of changed lives, renewed faith, and new believers welcomed into Godโs family.

The spirit of renewal at Apex SDA Church is evident in its vibrant worship services and fellowship activities.
On 26 September 2026, the church held a Guest Day and Holy Communion service in Lusaka, led by guest Pastor Cuthbert Lupiya from Chainama Seventh-day Adventist Church.
The program included musical performances by Sharper Focus, the PMC Choir, the Apex Campus Choir, and soloist Br Joseph Mwepu, fostering an atmosphere of praise and spiritual renewal.
Music, fellowship, and worship united members and visitors in a shared expression of faith and devotion.
During the divine service, Pastor Lupiya delivered a message that challenged the congregation to reflect on a fundamental question: โWho is ruling in the affairs of your life?โ
The message urged believers to examine their priorities, surrender to God, and allow Christ to guide their decisions, relationships, and daily lives.
It reminded the congregation that genuine Christian living begins with a heart surrendered to God and a willingness to let His will shape every aspect of life.
Beyond the pulpit, Guest Day was marked by warmth, hospitality, and fellowship. Visitors were welcomed with a shared meal prepared by the churchโs mothers, led by Sr. Kalililo, Sr. Mwanza, Sr. Muchimba, and Sr. Malambo.
Their dedication and generosity made the occasion a memorable expression of Christian love, unity, and belonging.
The gathering demonstrated that the church's mission extends beyond worship services to creating a community where people feel welcomed, valued and spiritually connected.

The churchโs influence has reached beyond Lusaka through the musical ministry of the Apex SDA Church Choir, led by Elder Richard Mwenya.
On 26 September 2026, the choir participated in the Inter-Conference Music Day at Mubalu SDA Church in Livingstone during the Mosi-O-Tunya Choir Rotation.
Under the theme โOne Voice. One Mission. Proclaiming Christ To All!โ, the choir delivered musical selections that uplifted the Word of God and encouraged participation.
Their voices conveyed hope, devotion, and unity, demonstrating musicโs power as a ministry of evangelism, encouragement, and fellowship. For the choir, the event was an opportunity to share the Gospel through song, connect with fellow believers, and reaffirm the churchโs commitment to proclaiming Christ to all.
In addition to leading the choir, Elder Mwenya delivered the divine service sermon titled โSo Close to Jesus, Yet So Far From Salvation.โ
His message challenged believers to move beyond outward expressions of faith and embrace genuine surrender, repentance, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
The sermon reminded the congregation that proximity to the church or religious practices does not replace a transformed heart and a life fully committed to God.
Through music and the spoken Word, the choirโs ministry reinforced that faith must be lived, experienced, and shared.
