A Loving Family
We are a family of faith where everyone belongs. No matter your background, stage of life, or story, you are welcome here—accepted, loved, and called by name.
Who We Are
A Church Family, Not Just a Building.
At ACK St. Thomas Aquinas, we believe church is about people—families, neighbors, and friends walking the journey of faith together. We are a family-oriented Anglican parish in the heart of Tena Estate, Nairobi.
A Family of Faith
Step into a community where ancient faith meets contemporary life, and strangers become family. Whether you are exploring faith for the first time or have been walking with God for years, you will find a welcoming home here.
Growing Together
Faith is not a solo journey. Through small groups, discipleship, and community, we grow closer to Christ and to one another—learning, serving, and maturing together.
Serving Together
We live out our faith by serving others—locally in Tena Estate and beyond. Every gift matters, and together we reflect Christ's love through acts of kindness and compassion.
Worship as a Family
Every Sunday, we gather as one family to worship God with sincerity and joy. Through liturgy, music, and prayer, we encounter the living God and celebrate His goodness together.
Our Story
From a small fellowship in a living room to a thriving parish—discover how God has been faithful to us.
Discover our full storyACK St. Thomas Aquinas Church was established in 2004 as a church plant of ACK St. James Buruburu, responding to the spiritual needs of Tena Estate residents. What began in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Awuor—a small congregation with no pews, no organ, no towering stained glass—has grown into a vibrant Anglican parish.
Through faithful obedience, sacrifice, and God’s provision, we acquired our present location and expanded into a community that honors God in worship, discipleship, and service. On May 31, 2017, Bishop Joel Waweru officially named us ACK St. Thomas Aquinas Tena Church, and in September 2017 we were elevated to parish status.
Today, we stand as a testament to God’s faithfulness—a church where biblical teaching, heartfelt worship, and genuine community come together to transform lives for His glory.

Authentic Worship
We gather to worship God with sincerity and joy. Through liturgy, music, and prayer, we create space for people to encounter the living God, not just observe a program—because worship is the heartbeat of our church family.

Servant Leadership
We honor God by putting others first. Our leaders serve with humility and integrity, and every member is called to use their gifts for the growth of the church and the good of our community.
