What we found
We searched for a congregation named "Evangelical church in Zambia" in Mununga, Lavushimanda, and found no listing, page, or directory entry for this particular local church. The place itself is real: Lavushimanda is a district of Muchinga Province, Zambia, with a town centre of the same name on the Great North Road, and map listings put Mununga there, showing a United Church of Zambia and a Pentecostal church nearby but no Evangelical church (Mapcarta, Cartogiraffe, OpenStreetMap). A national denomination of this name does exist - the Evangelical Church in Zambia, founded in 1910 and grown to over 1,000 local churches across the country (eczchurch.org) - but its site lists no Mununga branch. We found no scam reports, complaints, or warnings about this name or the Gmail contact address, and no sign of a personal-brand page. Rural Zambian congregations often have no web presence at all.
Our conclusion: The Evangelical Church in Zambia is a real national denomination founded in 1910 with more than a thousand congregations, and Mununga in Lavushimanda District, Muchinga Province, is a real place, so the signup is plausible on its face. However, an independent search found no listing, page, or directory entry for this particular local congregation, and the denomination's own site does not mention a Mununga branch, so nothing yet confirms this spec
We have asked this church for one piece of extra evidence: a photo, a link, its denomination, or a church that can vouch for it. The moment we can verify, this report is upgraded. Without a response, the listing is paused after 14 days.
