Name of church: New City Fellowship
City: Nairobi
Website: none yet
What's the worship music like? Mostly older praise choruses in English, but we also sing songs in Kiswahili, Punjabi, and Hindi on a regular basis.
What's the speaking like? A mix of speakers, with one main pastor that preaches about 50-75% of the time. Straight from the Bible with a lot of culturally relevant application.
What's the childcare like? After 1 hour of worship, offering, and intro stuff, the kids go to Sunday School. They divide up into classes which follow a set curriculum. Pretty good teaching.
What's your favorite thing? It's a very multicultural church and intends to be a unified body of Christ. And I love that.
What would you change? The youth group (18&up and single) seems a tiny bit exclusive. Might make it more open and welcoming.
Can I wear jeans? Absolutely.

Karen Vineyard.

Karen (near Nairobi).

Great worship - mostly in English.

Great Sunday school for kids.

Favorite part is that it's an oasis for ex-pats in what can be a hard environment to live in.

I would change very little.

Please wear jeans.
