Glory of Christ church was started in 1995 by REV. SAMUEL K. MWANGI at a small town called Kiria-ini in Murang’a County of central Kenya. God called him to plant a new church in this town where the reputation and the name of Christ had been greatly ruined by the misconduct and weakened morals among ministers and the local church. God told him to call the name of the new church “Glory of Christ Centre", so that the church shall be a centre where Christ’s glory is preserved and upheld. A place of integrity, a people who truly follow Christ in word and deed, ones who bring Him glory in this world. When God called him, he came up with his wife and two children and two other people who accompanied him from another more rural church that he was previously pastoring. It was located about 10 Kilometers deeper in the interior, South East of the new and the bigger town.
Ever since the church was born, many great things have taken place. The goal has been achieved. The church truly represents Christ to the world and the community around. Many people have been born into the kingdom of God. They have been taught the ways of God. They have matured and developed from being strangers with God, to maturing and mature Christians with an intimate relationship with God and even to ministers of the gospel. As a result, more churches have been planted from the original church, many have become pastors, more others have become family people in godly families, and Christ is indeed glorified among many men as a result. From the founding pastor, 10 other pastors have been brought up in the past 17 years. Churches, daughter churches, from the original mother church have been born and continue to be born. The ministry that started at Kiria-ini has gone to Gikomba, Kayole and Lang’ata in Nairobi, to Kamacharia a few miles from Kiria-ini, in Malindi at the coast, at Kenol near Thika, in Kieni near Nyeri and still growing. This shows a work started by God in progress. We look ahead to reproduce the good works of God in many lives, many places and regions. Many cultures, people groups and nations.
