Pastor Moise & Mary Bukenya

Pastor Moise Bukenya moved to Rwanda in 2000 to begin planting a church. In 2015, Pastor Moise and his wife Mary saw a need within his local community for children who were unable to attend school. Together, they founded and own Heritage Christian School with the vision to provide an affordable Christ-centered education for children in Karama - Kanombe to succeed and thrive in primary school.

Pastor Moise and Mary own and oversee the day to day operations of Heritage Christian School. Heritage Christian currently has a staff of 5 teachers and 6 classrooms.

Pastor Moise and Mary have five children, Lorie, Deborah, Jay, Josiah, and Isaiah.
