Welcome

A church for the island.

JCC Buxton serves the heart of Mombasa Island and the surrounding communities of Tudor, Tononoka, Majengo and Kibokoni. Four Sunday services means there’s a time that fits whatever your weekend looks like — including a workers’ service early in the morning and an evening service for those on later shifts.

The School of Ministry offices are also on-site at Buxton 1st floor — if you’re enquiring about training, this is where you visit during the week.
