Elders

Kevin first heard the gospel well explained in the year 2011 when he was a 2nd year student at Egerton University. Within a period of two years, God, through His providence of placing him in a biblical circle of friends and by His spirit working in him, had changed his life completely! In the year 2014, as a fourth year student, he had the assurance of Faith.

Kevin's desire for pastoral ministry is first a desire to be a faithful Christian, to be a city set on a hill, that he may bring much glory to our God who is in heaven.

It is his desire to heavily invest his life in the lives of brethren and in obedience to Hebrews 3:13, to daily exhort one another and so keep away the hardening of our hearts that is as a result of sin. He served as a pastor at Trinity Baptist Church Nairobi for two years before being sent out to plant UGCC Waiyaki Way where he has been a pastor since September 2024.

Kevin is married to Maria and they have together been blessed with two wonderful sons, Ed and Roi.

Joe Mwita Thwagi is a Pastor of UGCC, Kenya. He was born to and brought up by Christian parents. Growing up, Christian ideals were taught to him, and he displayed an understanding of them up to his high school years, though he was not a Christian. Joe then began to indulge greatly in his choice sins shortly after joining the University of Nairobi, where he studied Operations Management. He lived a rebellious life and hated God and the Church.

But God, in His mercy, called him from condemnation to salvation in mid-2013, as he was about to complete his Bachelor's degree. In due time, Joe grew in his understanding of who God is and His will for him. Over the years, God has given Joe a "life internship" in public ministry. He was able to serve in various capacities with his spiritual gifts in different local churches (such as Trinity Baptist Church, Donholm, and Injili Bible Church, Kawangware) and parachurch organizations such as Africa Centre for Apologetics Research (ACFAR) as its National Coordinator in 2018/2019.

After moving with his family to Switzerland in September 2019, they joined Lausanne Free Church, Switzerland, where Joe was working as a Pastoral Assistant in the year 2020. Through this opportunity, Joe was able to learn pastoral work in its various aspects under men who had served for many decades, particularly in faithful preaching, church administration, Biblical counselling, and prayer. Joe and his family finally returned to Kenya in January 2021. In 2023, Joe began undergoing seminary training at Trinity Pastors' College, Nairobi.

Joe is married to one wife, Melissa Mwita, and together they have one daughter, Olive, and two sons, Luther and Calvin. They live along Waiyaki Way, in the outskirts of Nairobi, serving God's people around them in obedience to God's call for them.
