Who We Are

Our History

The Reformed Church of East Africa (RCEA) in Kenya was planted in the early years of the twentieth century by migrant farmers, originating mainly from the former Boer republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State.

Since 1960 the RCEA partnered with the Gereformeerde Zendingsbond (the Reformed Mission League) of the Netherlands, but ties with the Dutch Reformed Church have been renewed. Today the RCEA is a vibrant, growing church, bearing the fruits of a wide range of ministries.

Our Presence

Today there are over 200 parishes, each with about 15 local churches, 17 presbyteries and about 80,000 members. The RCEA has over 600 local churches with 17 presbyteries that are ministered by over 200 pastors and about 50 evangelists.

The churches are strategically located throughout the country, and schools and other resources are available. It has a well-defined structure of Synod, Presbytery, Parish and local church council which is at the community level.
