Abstract:This paper examines Charismatic churches in Zambia. The Charismatic movement is a worldwide revival whose origins is usually traced to California in 1960. The seed of the Charismatic movement in Zambia, which is largely concentrated in urban areas, was sown as early as 1967, but it was the 1980s that witnessed a phenomenal growth of Charismatic churches, which are erroneously called 'Pentecostal' in Zambia. The paper shows how the Charismatic movement in Zambia developed into Charismatic churches, and concludes with examining the impact of Charismatic churches on some mainline churches, particularly the United Church of Zambia (UCZ), the Catholic Church, and the Reformed Church in Zambia (RCZ).
