On August 10, 2019, SDA Church elder George Anyango addressed worshippers outside the Seventh Day Adventist church in Nairobi.
The crisis at the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) church deepened last week after another group broke away from the Central Kenya Conference (CKC) to a new entity, the Nairobi Cosmopolitan Conference (NCC).
The KPCU SDA Church, situated in Mowlem, off Kangundo Road, Nairobi, voted on Saturday to switch allegiance from CKC to NCC, becoming the third group to do so.
According to a notice, the church board on September 7, 2019, and the church business meeting held on September 14, 2019, unanimously voted that the church cease to be part of CKC immediately.
The notice reads: “SDA KPCU Church has joined the NCC. This decision is not contestable in whatsoever manner. Members plead that their decision is respected under SDA religious liberty policies and Constitution of Kenya on choice of association.”
The letter to the Karura-based CKC, addressed to Pastor John Kiragu, is signed by the church clerk Esther Bosire and elder Richard Mecha, and copied to Mowlem OCS.
The KPCU church joins Kangemi’s Mountain View SDA and Meru-based Makandi SDA church that severed links with CKC and joined the splinter group of NCC.
The new entity deployed Pastor Kennedy Nyachiro, who conducted services at Makandi last Sabbath.
