The church was planted in the midst of the post election violence that rocked Kenya, Rev. Edward Munene who is the Snr. Pastor was the vision bearer and had come to plant a church only to get caught up in the violence. This however did not stop or slow him down believing and trusting that God who sent Him knew the plan. He says that it was an exciting time with vision spurring them on and a firm faith that lives would be changed in the city of Mombasa. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The church held it\u2019s first service at the Royal Castle hotel right in the middle of the city with an attendance of 35 people which included pastors family, those that were helping out as well as the congregants. It was quite the start but it begun to grow.<\/span><\/p><p><span>A year and a half later, the church moved its services from Royal Castle Hotel to KT Plaza on Haile Selassie road. It was a new season; a season to alter two floors of office space into a church hall, washrooms, classes and fellowship areas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Again excitement filled the atmosphere for it was new, those on the team we were able to do things they had previously only dreamt about. Since moving to KT Plaza, ICC Mombasa has grown to be a vibrant church reaching out to the unchurched in Mombasa, making disciples through a very clear systematic discipleship journey and influencing our city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We meet for Sunday Services in several campuses across the city of Mombasa and online on Zoom and our offices are located at KT Plaza, 3rd floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2>OUR TEAM<\/h2>\n\n\n\nSenior Pastor\nAssociate Pastor&nbsp;\n\n\nAssociate Pastor&nbsp;\nMusic Director\nChurch Accountant\n\n\nAssociate Pastor\nAssociate Pastor\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2>HERE ARE OUR VALUES<\/h2>\n\n<p>Our values define us and speak to who we are as a church family.
