Most major churches in Nairobi will remain shut for in-person worship due to, among other reasons, the surging Covid-19 cases and restrictive guidelines. The JCC, led by Bishop Allan Kiuna, Nairobi Chapel, Citam, Parklands Baptist and Worship Tabernacle Church are among those to remain shut. Christ is the Answer Ministries (CITAM) told its members to continue worshiping from home as leaders continue monitoring the Covid-19 situation. Parklands Baptist Church Senior Pastor Ambrose Nyangao told members that the 100 people per service limit “will not be sufficient for us, also recognising that a significant proportion of our church members consist of families with young children. The closure of places of worship was among Covid-19 containment measures announced by President Kenyatta on March 22.
