Our History

We are the largest growing church in Western Europe. Our phenomenal growth and success is built on strong leadership, our investment in the socio-economic and spiritual needs of multi-cultural communities and our overall desire and commitment to live our lives based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.

In 15 years our congregation has grown from 300 members to up to 12,000 in attendance every Sunday.

1993: 12 months on...

In 1993 Darnley Road, East London became our new home. Here, we purchased a three-storey property that was capable of seating 1,000 people.

Under the direction and leadership of Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, KICC maintained an open, honest and welcoming approach to all visitors. This attracted many more people to come and share in the KICC experience.

Our approach also had a positive effect on children and young teens; whose increase in attendance figures led to us purchasing an additional building to house our Children’s Church.
