Reference FN-VET-0749-20261027  ·  Review date 2026-10-27
This document records the verification of
GOOD NEWS MISSION CHURCH
Dar es salaam, Tanzania · listed since 2026-10-27
Provisionally listed

What we checked

  • Not a duplicate: no similarly named church is listed with us
  • The name reads as a real congregation
  • Contact email reviewed (gmail.com, common for small churches)
  • A Facebook page was provided; Facebook blocks automated reading, so it was weighed through the independent search
  • Independent web search performed: see the findings on the right

What we found

We searched for "Good News Mission Church" together with Dar es Salaam and Tanzania, and we could not find any directory listing, map entry, news article or denominational register for a congregation of that name in Dar es Salaam. We also searched specifically for the Facebook group whose link was supplied, and the page did not appear in any search result, so we could not confirm the group, its size or its content from outside the platform (Facebook results returned only an unrelated Good News Mission page in Nakuru, Kenya). The name itself is widely used: a South Korean movement called Good News Mission operates internationally, and one of its sites reports that a church was registered in Tanzania under the name "Good News Mission - Tanzania", so the applicant may or may not be linked to that body. We found no scam reports, fraud warnings or complaints tied to this specific Dar es Salaam congregation or the contact email. The findings are summarized here for space; the full research was weighed in the review.

Search conclusion: no evidence found. An independent web search is part of every review; an online page alone does not prove a congregation exists.

Our conclusion: The signup gives a named pastor, a city and a specific Facebook group link, but Facebook blocks automated reading, so we could not see the group's content, and our independent search found no directory listing, map entry or other public record for a congregation by this name in Dar es Salaam. The name "Good News Mission" is also used by a large international organisation based in South Korea that reportedly registered a body in Tanzania, so it is

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.

Faith.network reviews church signups in good faith, using automated checks of publicly available information at the review date shown above. We have not visited this congregation in person; that this church exists therefore remains an assumption supported by the evidence above, not an established fact.
