LMS Church in Serowe

On the way out of town on Saturday morning, Moses wanted to stop by the London Missionary Society church that sits atop another hill in Serowe. Indeed you can see it from Thathaganyane Hill, the Khama burial ground. The church was built in 1912 under the reign of Khama III, the society’s ‘most famous convert’. At the end of Khama III’s reign, Bangwato membership in the LMS reached 3,000, though declined thereafter as many left the LMS church and joined independent churches.
