All Generations.

"Teaching all of God's Word to all generations, planting churches for the future."

Our Story

NewSpring Church Kenya was launched on February 4, 2023, with a vision to be a gospel-centered community in our continent. From the very beginning, our founders stepped forward in faith to shepherd this local church family.

🌱 Launch — February 4, 2023

NewSpring Church Kenya was launched with a vision to be a gospel-centered community. Founders Pastor Simon Maina and his wife Phyllis stepped forward in faith to shepherd this local church family, and our journey has been marked by God's faithfulness in building strong foundations.

👥 Building a Local Foundation

A key early milestone was the development of our local elder team. Six men from among us were raised up to provide spiritual leadership, guidance, and care — ensuring that the church is rooted in and led by Kenyans for our specific context. This team provides the stability for our growth and outreach.

🤝 Partnerships for Mission

We are grateful for the friendship and initial support of NewSpring Church in South Carolina, which shared in our launching vision. This connected us to Key of Hope — a ministry dedicated to the lifelong discipleship of children and young people — and to the Worldwide Discipleship Association for spiritual growth materials.

🎓 Ministering in Our Community

Through our partnership with Key of Hope, we actively reach out to children in our community. Our location has also allowed us to welcome and disciple university students from Laikipia University and other learning institutions, investing in the next generation of leaders.

🏛️ Vision for the Future

Our prayer is that NewSpring Church Kenya will not just be a single congregation, but a launching pad for a movement — a church that plants other churches, multiplying healthy, biblical communities across Kenya and beyond, all for the glory of God and the expansion of His Kingdom.

What Drives Us

Five core commitments that shape everything we do as a church — from how we worship, to how we make disciples, to how we engage our community and the world.

1
Gospel-Centered Worship
"But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth..." — John 4:23

Our communal life begins and ends with the Gospel. We express this through joyful, truthful worship that responds to who God is and what He has done in Christ, shaping every aspect of our life together.

In Practice: Expository preaching, Christ-centered singing, prayer, and gathering as a multi-generational family.

2
Intentional Biblical Discipleship
"And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry..." — Ephesians 4:11–12

We are committed to teaching the full counsel of God's Word to see every member mature in Christ. This happens through structured teaching, accountable relationships, and equipping every believer for ministry.

In Practice: Cornerstone Academy, School of Ministry, Leadership Institute, one-on-one mentorship, training in sound doctrine.

3
Bold Local and Global Mission
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." — Acts 1:8

Compelled by Christ's love, we actively share the Gospel in our community and to the ends of the earth. We see our locality, and strategic global partnerships as our mission field.

In Practice: Evangelism training, outreach through Key of Hope, ministry to students, and supporting church planting.

4
Generational Partnership
"For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body — so it is with Christ." — 1 Corinthians 12:12

We value God-honoring partnerships — from our foundational ties with NewSpring SC and our partnership with Key of Hope and Worldwide Discipleship Association, to vital local Kenyan alliances. We believe collaboration amplifies our gospel impact.

In Practice: Shared resources, joint ministry projects, financial support, and mutual encouragement with like-minded churches and organizations.

5
Multiplying Stewardship
"And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also." — 2 Timothy 2:2

We are a sending community. We steward the Gospel, our resources, and our people by investing in future generations and intentionally planting new churches to see a movement spread across Kenya and beyond.

In Practice: Leadership development, allocating resources for church planting, and a culture that celebrates sending out members to launch new congregations.
