Initially its base was Mvera, but it later relocated to Nkhoma. • These three missions were the start of the three CCAP synods in Malawi. • In 1911 the Livingstonia and Blantyre Synods agreed to join together to form the CCAPbecause of World War I, this union did not take place until 17 September 1924. • In 1926, the formerly Dutch Reformed Nkhoma Synod joined the CCAP. The Harare Synod joined in 1965,while the Lundazi Synod (now called the Zambia Synod) joined in 1984. • In 1998, some Charismatic members split from the CCAP to form the Presbyterian Church of Malawi (PCM). • Presbyterian continue to spread in Malawi and other neighboring countries Mozambique and Tanzania.
