Reverend Moose (Musonda) Ngolwe was born in Zambia, Southern Africa. He grew up in a faith-oriented family where his praying grandmother guided him to seek a life of righteousness, integrity, and self- discipline. Moose accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at the tender age of six (6) and was baptized in the United Methodist Church. He was very active in his home church as a youth and young adult.

Moose was educated at Namwianga Christian Mission School. He attended the University of Zambia, majoring in Social Counseling, before joining the United States Aid for International Development (USAID) in January 2003- 2015. Moose holds an Associate of Science (AS) Degree in Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) Degree in Pastoral Ministry from Kansas Christian College (KCC). He is currently in his third year of a Master of Divinity (MDiv) Degree at Saint Paul School of Theology, Leawood, Kansas.

Here in the US, Moose has served in the leadership team in 2016, at East Shore United Methodist Church, Euclid, Ohio. Moose took on the ministry of driving the church bus serving the senior citizens of the church and community. Moose served in the leadership team at Red Bridge United Methodist Church, Kansas City, Missouri as an Associate for Hospitality from 2017 until he was appointed Pastor of Grandview United Methodist Church, Grandview, Missouri, in 2021.
