I’m New Prayer Request Contact
Welcome

First time? You’re welcome here.

Whether you’re visiting Mombasa for a weekend or you’re looking for a church to call home, we’d love to have you. Here’s everything you need to know before Sunday.

Word Explosion week, Monday 30th November – Sunday 6th December 2026: our Centres and Branches hold no services during the conference times. Grace Hour runs only at Kenya Cinema, and at the Centres and Branches there is no Youth Overnight Prayer (Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd), Bible Focus (Wednesday 2nd), Friday Overnight Prayer (Kesha) (Friday 4th), Saturday programme (Saturday 5th) or Sunday service (Sunday 6th). The revivals at JCC Bamburi are open to all every day from 5:30 PM, and the church buses run for them. About Word Explosion →
When you arrive

Here’s what to expect.

🕊

A warm welcome

An usher will meet you at the door, hand you a programme, and show you to a seat. Let them know it’s your first visit and we’ll take care of you.

👔

Come as you are

There’s no dress code. Most people are dressed smart-casual but you’ll see everything from suits to t-shirts. Wear what helps you focus on God.

🎵

Worship and the Word

About an hour of contemporary worship led by our choir, then a teaching from Pastor Wilfred Lai or one of our pastors. Communion is served on the first Sunday of the month.

👶

Kids are well looked after

Sunday school runs during the English Service for children up to 12. Friendly leaders, age-appropriate teaching and a safe environment so you can focus on worship.

🅿️

Plenty of parking

Ample on-site parking at the cathedral. Get there 10–15 minutes early so you have time to settle in.

🚌

Need a ride?

We run church buses every Sunday from Mtwapa, Shanzu, Nyali, Bombolulu and Kongowea. See bus routes →
