The Sanctuary

The Concept

The concept of the Sanctuary was formulated by a committee set up by the congregation chair - Elder Gitau to focus on improvement of the sanctuary. Later on, Session converted the committee to the present PDC.
The initial focus was on the Youth Tent, which was later on procured and installed. The next agenda was on increasing parking space. This was accomplished by reclaiming and extending the available and in the parish.

The design

The PDC engaged the congregation for input and proposal for development of an iconic Sanctuary. This attracted a number of volunteers who promised to offer their services pro-borno. Young Architects decided to engage in a competition to design the Sanctuary. From this competition, the church selected one out of the three proposals submitted. This was design was from Architect Githaiga from Studio Verv. However, all participants agreed to collaborate in this endeavour.
As seen in their design, the Sanctuary will have a theatre style setting 1700 seater with a unique 34-foot 'dancing roof'.

Funds

The project received endorsement and support from the Congregational Chair, Mary Dehi and Rev. Mundia in 2015. It is then that members were invited to start making pledges. Ksh. 100 miliion had already been pledged by end of 2015.
Professionals (consultants, contractors and engineers) were invited to make their bids for the project. The selection process was stringent as they required people with proven track records.
The actual costing totalled to Ksh. 360 M, this called for more pledges which was steered during a Retreat held in December 2016 to restrategise. To date, member continue to make their pledges and redemptions when called upon.

Progress

Part of the project funds were used to sink a borehole and redesign and move the caretakers house to create space.
The contractual agreement with Twiga Contractors was signed. Twiga Contractors take pride in having dealt with huge projects such as All Saints Cathedral.
Construction began in April 2018 and Phase 1 is expected to be complete in 24 months. This will include the sub-structure, super-structure and roof structure.
Phase 2 will include walls, doors, final roof, mechanical/ electrical works and landscaping.
