Special Announcement


WORK HAS STARTED!  WE THANK GOD AND ASK FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS

We thank God that we have now acquired a plot which is leased for 5 years.  We have paid for the first 6 months of this lease and the next instalment is due in June.  Please pray for God's provision for this.

We are now concentrating on construction and ask you to pray for the needed materials, in particular for the children's hall which has yet to be erected.

Thank you for your support.  Please continue to pray and consider how God would have you assist us.

Prayer Requests

 We wish to request for prayers for the congregation of Lavington church of God that they may be more committed to   the work of God and are true disciples of Jesus Christ.

      Also pray that during this transition period many may be willing to stand by the work of God to enable us construct for Him and ourselves a good sanctuary that can accommodate all services for enough time.

      We also believe God for many needy children in our midst that their parents are able to raise school fees for their schools and other needs.

      Pray also that God saves many from the many bad things happening around in slums of Kawangware- like drug abuse by many children and youths, prostitution and thuggery.

  

Special Focus

We are focusing on ensuring that kids get enough time to be taught the word of God. They lack this time as the current sanctuary is small and hence they have to pave way for the youth and main service.

 

Profile

Lavington church of God is an affiliate Church of Church of God in East Africa with its mission in Kima Kenya. Lavington Church of God was started in the year 2006 after a few individuals who were members of Kangemi Church of God. started in house fellowship  in Gatina for some years but continued worshipping at Kangemi on Sundays, After some time they were eventually given go ahead by the main church of Kangemi with permission from Kima (mission) to set up their church. Since then the church has been growing and as usual has had a few challenges here and there as the mother church eventually distanced itself from the branch due to personal differences between the pastors of the two churches. This culminated into many founder members leaving the church. But a few who stuck there eventually managed to make it stand through a lot of difficulties. The pastor who started with Lavington has since retired back to his Rural home and we now have two pastors with a congregation over around 80 people constituting of around 25 children and 56 regular attending adults. Most of these congregants are casual labourers in construction sites and security guards in private firms who earn barely enough to sustain themselves. The Church does services or worship in rental structure within the slums of Kawangware till 2009 when they managed to lease a place and build a small sanctuary. The lease term was five years and it has since expired but after pleading with the land lord he eventually agreed to extend for one year. The room has since grown small to the current congregants and the kids are really having hard time to get amble time to learn or be taught the word of God. The situation is that this one room has to accommodate bible study, Sunday school (which to us we call children ministry service), and the youth service and then the main service. All this has to be done in between 8:00am to 1:00pm. We therefore wish and appeal for support from well wishers and donors to help us lease or even buy and build a slightly larger sanctuary with at least three extra rooms to accommodate pastor’s office, meeting room, which can serve the kids, and the main hall for the main services. We have up to August 30 to have gotten a place to move the church, build and move the congregation there.

Our statement of faith:

1: The bible is inspired by God and is the only infallible and authoritative word of God, the only rule for Christian faith and conduct.

2: There is one God, eternally existent in three people: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

3: The deity and humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His body resurrection ,His ascension to the right hand of the Father , and His personal future return to earth in power and glory to rule over the nations

4: The universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the fall, rendering man powerless and subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.

5: The, only means of salvation is , by grace ,turning to God in repentance, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; and that results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

6: The redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross provides healing in the human body in answer to the prayers of faith.

7: The sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose in dwelling the Christians enable to live a holy life.

8: The resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.
