The ELCZ operates three hospitals, four secondary schools, and two Bible schools. Pastors are trained at the ecumenical United Theological College in Harare. The ELCZ has developed a Lutheran House of Studies in conjunction with the University. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zimbabwe is a growing church with a membership of about 100,000. It has a strong youth program and new mission outreach in many communities, and there are requests for evangelical outreach beyond Zimbabwe.
Pastors serve multiple congregations, sometimes as many as a dozen or more.
The ELCZ is training as many new pastors as possible to meet the growing needs. Teachers, elders, and other lay workers carry on extensive ministries in the church. Short courses help to enable women, especially those with little formal education, to develop their talents and learn new skills. The Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zimbabwe is Dr. Ambrose Moyo. He is a lecturer at the University of Zimbabwe and a renowned speaker and writer in the international Lutheran community.
