CITAM Nyeri Officially Launched 

There was a joyous celebration on Sunday, November 9, 2025, which will forever be remembered as a defining moment for CITAM Nyeri. What began as a simple step of faith seven years ago, in 2017, has now blossomed into a fully-fledged CITAM Assembly, officially launched with the theme, “Encountering the Unstoppable God.” 

Presiding Bishop, Rev. Calisto Odede, led the congregation in thanksgiving to God, and was joined by Deputy Bishop, Rev. Justus Mugambi, Director for Administration, Mr. Michael Wamache, Northern Region Overseer, Rev. Jesse Mwai, Deputy Regional Overseer, Rev. Paul Njoroge, members of the Council of Elders, the Deacon Board, CITAM HQ staff, family, and friends who are all witnesses to the faithfulness of God in Nyeri. Bishop Calisto preached from Isaiah 46:1-13. 

The CITAM Nyeri Worship Team led heartfelt worship, and God’s presence was experienced in the sanctuary. The Children’s Ministry performed a captivating skit celebrating the remarkable growth of the congregation which had over 1,000 worshippers. The Youth Ministry brought energy and joy with a dynamic dance, while the GEM Ministry crowned the celebration with a lively Kenyan praise medley that had everyone on their feet. 

In August 2017, the communication was sent out that CITAM Nyeri would be established. God placed this mission in the hands of Rev. Ken Thiong’o, who began with a small Bible study fellowship in the town, that laid the foundation for what was to come. On Good Friday, 2018, the first official service was held. A humble beginning that would soon grow into something extraordinary. 

As the fellowship expanded, the congregation found a home in Lware, at the heart of Nyeri town. During the challenging COVID-19 lockdown, leadership transitioned to Rev. Collins Muema, who continued to nurture the young assembly through such uncertain times. Then, in December 2021, God opened yet another door, the move to their current property, where a permanent structure now stands. 

Today, under the leadership of Rev. Gerald Ounga, CITAM Nyeri stands tall as a beacon of light and transformation in the Northern Region. From a few believers gathered in the living room of a founding member, to a thriving community of faith, the story of CITAM Nyeri is a living testament that indeed, our God is unstoppable. 

To God be all the glory!
