Worship House Church lead pastor Wilson Bugembe has expressed disappointment over the growing division and discrimination among born-again Christians. Speaking emotionally during a recent show, the popular gospel artist revealed how some Christian circles have gone as far as blacklisting him and sabotaging his ministry.
“Christians should stop segregating people,” Bugembe said. “I have heard many issues. My friend Twina Herbert told me he was organizing a show, and one Christian radio offered him free adverts. But when they found out I was among the performers, they told him to remove me if he still wanted the offer.”
The show Bugembe referred to is Twina Herbert’s upcoming gospel concert, scheduled to take place later this month in Kampala.
Bugembe went on to share more disturbing experiences, saying that some churches have openly branded him an enemy.
“One church even told everyone that I am the enemy of the church,” he said. “Some people even planted women around me, paying them 3 to 5 million shillings per day just to get close to me and try to bring me down. We are here only by grace.”
The Worship House Church, located in Nansana, has often stood out for its inclusive approach, welcoming people from all walks of life — something Bugembe says has made him a target of criticism from other born-again leaders.
He concluded by calling for unity within the body of Christ, saying that constant fights and divisions among born-again churches only weaken their mission.
“We are supposed to love and support each other, not fight one another. At the end of the day, we all serve the same God,” he emphasized.
