Church History
Church Land Purchase
The land on which the church was built was purchased from the late Hon. Dick Wathika during the tenure of Rev Canon Kamba, then Vicar of St. James Buru Buru, the curate then was Rev. John Anzaya.
Land lease and levelling

Foundation Stone laid
The foundation stone was laid on 9th June 2002 by the Late Most Rev. Dr. David Gitari, the former Archbishop and Bishop for Nairobi Diocese without any congregation.
The Late Mr. Arthur Kariuki, the proprietor of Planet Guest house situated in Umoja inner core, allowed
the first congregation to gather in his premises for worship. "It goes without saying that this
Parish was born in a guest house".
