Churches in Africa that were established by African initiative.

"Hunger Cloth" from Ivory Coast, 1990

By the end of the nineteenth century, many African Christians had formed independent congregations and denominations. The early history of these groups is sometimes difficult to document, but some of the independent churches are among the fastest growing Christian groups in Africa today. Simon Kimbangu and William Harris are examples of independent African evangelists.
