The Diocese of Masasi is one of twenty-six Diocese within the Anglican Church of Tanzania and subscribes to its vision and mission.
The Diocese of Masasi interprets the ACT mission with reference to Jesus’ command to Peter to ‘feed my sheep’ (John 21:17). We see our mission to ‘feed the sheep’ of the Diocese. We believe that teaching sustainable living, especially given the global and environmental challenges the whole world faces, is the need to which Christians must respond.
The subsistence livelihoods of our community members bring this into sharp focus. We believe that giving the people the means to live rewarding lives and giving them bread and wine in the Eucharist go hand in hand.
Christian love is to unconditionally meet the needs of people, no matter their religious persuasion. The Diocese of Masasi therefore serves God by engaging in pastoral and development work with equal dedication.
A sustainable Church working together effectively for the growth of God’s Kingdom through prayer, worship, preaching, teaching, pastoral care and social services.
To proclaim the Kingdom of God through spiritual and socio-economic transformation and empowerment of individuals and communities to experience the fullness of life in God.

“He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.”
John 21:17
