Brief Introduction to Orthodoxy in Kenya

The Orthodox Church of Kenya is part of the worldwide Orthodox Christian communion, tracing its origins directly to the Apostles and the early Church. Introduced to Kenya nearly a century ago, Orthodoxy has taken deep root among our people, integrating African culture with the rich spiritual and liturgical traditions of the Church.

From mountain villages to bustling towns, our faithful gather to worship in holiness, live out the Gospel through acts of mercy, and nurture the next generation in faith and dignity. Today, Orthodoxy in Kenya continues to grow through missions, education, orphan care, youth empowerment, and environmental stewardship—guided by the Holy Spirit and the love of Christ.

We invite you to explore our story, join our mission, and walk with us on the sacred path of life in the Orthodox Church.
