Africa Christian Church and Schools (ACC&S)
The Africa Christian Church and Schools (ACC&S) envisions communities enjoying life in abundance. It is committed to proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God and equipping people to realize their full potential. Support this project with financial contributions and prayer.
The Situation
Dating back to 1903 through the ministry of the African Inland Mission among the Kikuyu, the ACC&S has worked as an independent body since 1948. The denomination has had a strong impact among the Kikuyu people and currently has 140 churches with over 150,000 members as well as many schools throughout Kenya. CBM’s partnership with the ACC&S dates back to the early 1970s with programs that include theological education, community development such as food security programming and HIV and AIDS support, as well as emergency relief aid when needed.
Together we have been able to walk in the journey of faith, offering God’s people the hope of new life based on the promises and values of the kingdom of God. Theological education has played a key role in this partnership, developing grassroots training programs from certificate courses through doctorate studies. Field Staff have invaluably participated in teaching and mentoring emergent leaders in this field.

The Impact of Our Work
In 2016, Humprey was a student and a beneficiary of a scholarship for two years. He is from Kigumo, Kenya and is the firstborn in a family of three. That year, the family was affected by a landslide that swept away their land and almost carried away their house. They were given refuge in a school where they lived for two years while Humprey continued his studies. The family tried to secure a new piece of land but were unable to.
This project enabled Humprey to complete his training, and he is now serving as a minister with the ACC&S and is working with another minister to plant a new church in the western part of Kenya.
