One of the major landmarks in Nakuru city is the famous Kingdom Seekers Fellowship church.

A mega structure towering above the adjacent commercial buildings in the southern part of Nakuru city’s central business district serves as a spiritual nerve for the city dwellers.

The Ministry is headquartered in Nakuru city with over 20 Branches Spreading across the country.

Bordering Nakuru's famous Bondeni slums that is the perceived home of the dreaded confirm gang, Kingdom seekers fellowship has played a part in giving Nakuru its identity as the religious hub of Kenya.

The ultra-modern building is a beautiful piece of architectural design that has spruced up the image of the surrounding area.

Founded in 2012 by apostle John William Kimani together with his wife Rev Naomi Kimani, the church attracts worshipers from all over the country and beyond.

Its massive auditorium with a huge cross running from one face of it is able to accommodate at least 10,000 congregants in a single service.

The church has also played host to many dignitaries including the former President Uhuru Kenyatta who attended one of its Sunday Services last year.

Former Nakuru county Governor Lee Kinyanjui visited the church several times for various services including the 2021/2022 crossover service.

The ministry anchors its biblical teachings from the book of Matthew 6:33 ‘but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things shall be added unto you’.

Kingdom seekers fellowship hit the media headlines in 2010 when apostle Kimani led the worshippers in praying for the resurrection of its two pastors who had died in a road accident.

The church is the home to the Mission to the Body of Christ international (MBCI) radio and TV in Nakuru stations based in Nakuru.

It has also been involved in a number of other projects including investment in real estate and education.
