Message From Our Bishop

Bishop David Kamau

Bishop David Kamau

Founder & Senior Pastor

Dear Beloved,

What began as a small gathering of believers in 1995 has grown into a movement of God's grace across Kenya. Our journey has been marked by His faithfulness at every step.

At New Jerusalem Church, we remain committed to the simple yet powerful mission of making disciples who love God, serve others, and transform communities.

Whether you're visiting us for the first time or have been part of our family for years, I pray you encounter the life-changing presence of Jesus Christ in our midst.

To God be the glory,

Bishop David Kamau
