At the time of the great East African revival in 1920s and 30s, there were very few Churches in the area. The late Petero Rwabito started the Church in the King’s Court; Kanungu Administrative Headquarters in 1915. Church premises later shifted to Ifubura village in 1916. Rutatigirwa Eriya was one of the natives of the area and after receiving baptism, he volunteered to give land for Church premises at Ifubura. Many people accepted the gospel and received the Sacrament of Baptism. In 1924, Petero started a school at Nyakatare where people could learn how to read and write, commonly known as “Club” classes. In 1925, Church premises shifted to Nyakatare which is the present location and site of the Cathedral. Late Homby one of the missionaries opened the school at Nyakatare. In 1939 there was spiritual revival and many people turned to the Lord. This revival was a product of the Great East African Revival. In 1946, Kinkiizi (Nyakatare) became a parish and in 1977 it was upgraded to an Archdeaconry. The Archdeacons who served in this centre are: Rev. Mugyenga (late), Rev. Banyenzaki (Late), Rev. Nshakira (late), Rev. Can. Kilimani (Late), and Rev. Kesiga. In 1993 Rev. Can. John Ntegyereize became an Archdeaconry co-ordinator preparing for the birth of the Diocese. On October 13th 1994 the Rev. Can. John Ntegyereize and his dear wife Maama Jocelyne Ntegyereize (RIP) was elected Bishop for the newly created Diocese. He was consecrated and enthroned Bishop of Kinkiizi on May 7th 1995. On Oct 10th 2010 Rt. Rev. Dan Zoreka and Maama Florah Zoreka was consecrated and enthroned as a 2nd Bishop.
