Vision Statement: A faster growing sustainable Christ-centered Church
High on Biku Hill in Nebbi District, Uganda, stands a remarkable little chapel popularly known as Bethel Church or the Chapel on Biku Hill. It is widely described as one of the smallest churches in the world and is a unique symbol of faith, prayer and humility.
Built in 1996, the tiny stone church is approximately 8 feet high and 2.5 metres wide, and can accommodate only three people at a time, including the preacher.
What makes Biku even more special is its symbolic architecture. The prayer centre contains windows representing important biblical numbers, including the 12 disciples, the 39 books of the Old Testament, and the 27 books of the New Testament.
But Biku is more than a tiny building. It is a place of prayer, meditation, spiritual reflection and pilgrimage. The hill has several prayer points where visitors seek peace, healing, guidance and a deeper relationship with God.
A powerful message from Biku
Biku reminds us that faith does not require a large building. Sometimes, the smallest place can hold the biggest prayers, the deepest faith and the greatest hope.
Biku Hill, approximately 18 km from Nebbi Town, Uganda.
