“They have been with us for the last three years,” the statement read. Mavuno Church was founded in 2005 by Nairobi Chapel in Kenya.
In 2010, Mavuno shared it’s strategic plan to plant churches in every major city in Africa. Mavuno Kampala was birthed out of this vision in May 2010 by Pastor Kevin Nderitu, who commited to commute from Nairobi to Kampala every two weeks.
In 2011, Pastor Anthony Njoroge and his family stepped into the role of senior pastor to bring Mavuno Kampala to the next level of church growth. After 4 years the church had grown to about 700 members and had relocated to Kampala Parents School in order to handle the explosive growth.
