Jesus People Gospel Ministries

The church at the centre of it

Jesus People Gospel Ministries is a church in Kahawa Sukari, Nairobi, Kenya, led by Pastor Simon & Joyce Nderitu. The academy, the college and the feeding program all belong to it.

The semi-permanent sanctuary — a long iron-sheet building with a green roof and a cross above the door

Sunday at Jepegomi

The congregation gathers each week to worship, pray and hear the Word together. It is the oldest thing the ministry does, and the thing the rest of it is built on.

Visitors are welcome. You do not need to know anybody, and you do not need to bring anything.

  • A full congregation seated on white plastic chairs under the sanctuary's timber roof trusses

    A Sunday service, under the roof the church has now.

  • A man standing at a lectern reading to rows of seated children

    The pupils' service — one of the many uses the sanctuary is put to.

  • Two men standing behind a stone foundation wall set with upright timber posts

    Ground broken, and the first posts up.

A gate, a yard, and a plot waiting for a sanctuary

  • A weathered painted wall reading Jepegomi Family Church and Jepegomi Academy, Quality Education with Values, beneath a hand-lettered board

    The sign at the gate — hand-painted, and long overdue a facelift.

  • The sanctuary's green roof and red walls behind a swing frame and a see-saw on bare ground

    The yard between the sanctuary and the classrooms.

  • A cleared plot of bare ground enclosed by a stone perimeter wall, houses beyond it

    The plot the permanent sanctuary is meant for.
