Daily Devotions

Nothing causes personal spiritual growth like developing the discipline of reading God’s word daily and listening to his leading and direction for the day. We therefore work hard at helping our members learn how to listen to God for themselves on a daily basis.

E-Group

Spending time with others who love the Lord, studying his Word, praying for each other and growing together is one other sure way to grow rapidly in our walk with God. Our desire is that each member of our church be in a small, home fellowship bible study, which we call an E-Group (E stands for Ecclesia which is the Greek word used in the bible for “church”).

Engagement

God has given each Christian a special mix of giftings to uniquely bless his people with. The Bible calls these “Spiritual Gifts”. You have one and I have one; when you use yours, God specially empowers you to bring about results that will blow you away and grow you as you see God using you among His people in His own unique way.

Pulpit

The pulpit symbolises Sunday gatherings which for us is the place of celebration, worship, gratitude to God, teaching from His word, friendships and joy. Sunday service is a weekly event to look forward to… and boy does the Chapel pulpit grow you!

Witness

Witness 100,000 people. To do this we have to creatively engage different avenues, media, crusades or whatever means possible to get the task done.

Impact

Social impact that will change the lives of our people significantly, especially of the poor and needy around us. We can bring about social impact via two different ways; firstly is by working closely with the poor to alleviate poverty; and secondly is by each being faithful disciples of Christ in the specific sector of society he has placed us. We talk about the six sectors of society being the arts and media; business and commerce; governance and politics; church and religion; science and medicine; and finally family and education. Everyone works in one or more of these sectors, and if we were all faithful disciples, shining for Jesus and justice where He has placed us, we would change this world.

Discipleship

Our commitment is to disciple 10,000 people outside of Chapel into maturity. That means we would have to publish materials, books and curriculum that others can use to grow people.

Establish and plant 25 churches.

We are committed to doing what it takes to help people find life in Christ. To this end, we are innovative and push the limits, unafraid to fail because the opportunity to effectively speak to an ever-changing society outweighs the risk. We seek to relate to people in a way that they can understand. As a result, this will enable everyone get involved and experience life in Christ. Involvement entails: our congregation inviting friends and workmates to church or to Plug-In; our school outreach programs; Missions and Outreach Ministry, that takes the gospel to neighbouring communities, across the country and internationally. Our goal is to reach 100,000 people for Christ by the year 2020. Real transformation happens in authentic community which is beyond church on a Sunday morning. God wants us to ‘do life together.’ Such growth happens best in the context of small groups – what we call eGroups at Chapel — where people are real with each other and deal with real issues. eGroups are places where we safely share our joys, struggles, doubts, and questions; where we come together, pray for, encourage and challenge one another to be more like Christ.

Discipleship is how Jesus grew his team and this is of utmost importance to us as a church. In order to successfully implement this, Through our Transformation Track , a clear guide through the process of discipleship at Nairobi Chapel Waiyaki Way. This way, we work towards growing our members to be more like Christ and live out their faith in a powerful and practical way.

At the individual level, we are intentional about multiplying leaders, staff and disciples. Further, each year, at the ministry level, we seek to reproduce all of our ministries regularly. Putting Plug-In into practice has incorporated several volunteers at almost every level of the church’s functions.

God has not only called us to reach the next generation, but also to empower them, to change their world. Today’s children and youth are tomorrow’s leaders and the future of the church. Investing in them is investing in the future of the church. Thus, we intentionally do whatever it takes to bring them into a life changing relationship with Jesus Christ and empower them for Kingdom service. Through creative sermons pre teens and teens ministry, and Quest (our Children’s Ministry), our children do not just accept Christ into their hearts, but also learn practical ways to be more like Him.

We are called to be a “city on a hill” – a place of hope and refuge – and a “lamp that sheds light abroad.” Accordingly, we look beyond our walls to serve people outside the church, especially the poor and the forgotten – “the least of these”. We resolved to continuously serve our community with compassion, love and understanding. Through social justice, we hope to assist those struggling in the communities around us.

Everything we do encompasses prayer and dependence on God. The best planning and strategy can only go so far if not ordained and guided by God. We are committed to apply daily what the Bible says in Psalm 127:1,

… unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labour in vain

As a church, we encourage personal prayer through daily devotion. Corporately, we are blessed with a committed team serving in our Prayer Ministry who uphold the church and nation in prayer, daily.

We also come together as a congregation for prayer and fasting. God has been faithful in answering our prayers. He has been our ‘Ebenezer’ – this far He has brought us. We look forward to the amazing things He has in store for Chapel Waiyaki Way as we continue to place our trust in Him.
