Successful CITAM RAGMs and ADC

 

As a church, we have just ended the season of Regional Annual General Meetings (RAGMs) and Annual Delegates Conference (ADC), a significant time that brings together leadership and assembly members to reflect and set direction for the ministry.

The Western Region AGM was held on 21st March 2026 at CITAM Kisumu, followed by the Southern Region AGM on 28th March 2026 at CITAM Bururburu. Northern Region held its AGM on 11th April 2026 at CITAM Valley Road. Finally, the ADC was held on 25th April 2026 at CITAM Valley Road. The meetings were well attended, with members participating actively, both physically and virtually.

Led by the Presiding Bishop, Rev. Dr. Calisto Odede, these meetings provided a platform for meaningful engagement. The RAGMs and ADC form a key part of CITAM’s governance structure, held annually to deliberate on the overall running and financials of the church, its business units, projects, and schools.

Through each of these statutory meeting, CITAM continues to move forward as it builds for the future.

Key Decisions at ADC

The delegates successfully conducted the business of the meeting where the Chairman’s report was presented and adopted. Also the delegates considered and adopted the Statement of Accounts for the year ended 31st December 2025 and appointed RSM Eastern Africa LLP as the  Auditor for 1 year.

 

Delegates were taken through the proposed amendments to the CITAM Constitution and By-Laws which they approved through a poll. 53 members were  appointed as Elders in various assemblies, some beginning their 1st term while others going for a final 2nd term.

 

An important business in the ADC was the election of Deacon Board members.

  1. James Munene
  2. Mercy Mukiri
