Our History
The history of the Anglicanism of Kenya goes back to 1844 when the first Anglican Missionaries arrived from the CMS (Church Mission Society). In 1921 St. Johns Church Nairobi located at Jackson Road (currently parliament grounds) was moved to Pumwani. In replacement of St. John’s church, the Highland Cathedral (All Saints Cathedral) and the St. Stephens Church Jogoo Road were started. The St. Stephen’s Church foundation stone was laid down by Mrs. Ernest Carr on 23rd June 1923.
When St. Stephens Church was moved from Jackson Road (the current parliament building site) to Jogoo Road, it was meant to be the Anglican African Cathedral as All Saints Cathedral was already serving the white settlers community.

Welcome message from the provost
We welcome you to worship with us.
This year our theme is “But let God transform you…”
It is based on Romans 12:2,
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect”.
As we commemorate 120 years of the ACK St. Stephen’s Church, Nairobi, we thank God for those who have gone before us. Those who had the vision to plant a seed, a seed that has continued to grow by the grace of God, into what is now the ACK St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Jogoo Road, Nairobi community of Christians.
It is our prayer that all of us who worship at the Cathedral will be transformed and rededicate ourselves to the work of God, as we positively influence the city, the nation and the world.
The Very Rev. Canon Paul Kariuki.
