Our Heritage
The Methodist Church of Fiji and Rotuma is a pillar of our nation's social power structure, working in harmony with the Vanua (chiefly system) to provide stability and spiritual guidance.
The Nabalebale Methodist church circuit is one of 9 Methodist church circuits in the Methodist Division of Wailevu. We are located in Nabalebale village, Wailevu Cakaudrove. After detaching from our old circuit, the Buca Methodist church circuit, our new circuit or Tabacakacaka was formally established in January 2004 upon resolution in the 2003 Annual Methodist Church conference.

Unified in Diversity
Following the example of the 1892 Indian Mission, the Nabalebale Circuit is committed to inclusivity. We believe the Gospel is for all ethnic and religious communities, and we strive to be a welcoming home for everyone in Cakaudrove, regardless of their background. E na loloma vaka-Kalou, eda na duavata kina. — In God's love, we are one.
Digital Archive Project
As part of our national strategic goal for Communication & Data Management, we are building a digital archive of our circuit's history. We are preserving photos, stories, and records of our past ministers and congregation members.
This project ensures that the "New Exodus" of our church is documented for future generations, blending our rich history with modern technology.
