Who we are
What began in 2018 as simple evangelism among the Samburu, God grew into something far larger than we first imagined. The first believers gathered under a tree to worship every Lord's Day, beginning in 2020. In time that gathering became Segera Reformed Church, now with a permanent home, indigenous leaders in training, and a congregation built up week by week on the Word, prayer, and the sacraments.
What God began among the Samburu, we believe He intends for the whole nation of Kenya. We will not cease until there is a healthy, confessional, indigenous-led church in every county of Kenya, united under one Presbyterian denomination.
