PCEA Neema Church New Sanctuary Dedication- Lowell MA {Photos & Videos}

PCEA Neema Church was started on March 23rd, 2014 at 450 Chelmsford Street in Lowell.

The church was later formally inaugurated and it’s founding minister Rev. Dr. Karīmi Mūmbūi inducted in a service conducted by the then PCEA Moderator Very Rev. David Gathanju on Sept. 14, 2014.{PHOTOS}

The church has since then been struggling to acquire their own worship space.

To this end, the Session appointed and charged a committee under the chairmanship of Mr. William Mūngai with the daunting task of looking of searching, identifying and recommending an ideal property; be it land or building.{PHOTOS}

Thereafter, a fundraising committee under the chairmanship of Mrs. Salome Njoroge was formed. The church finally settled on 201 Coburn St. Lowell.

The dedication service on Sunday May 28th, 2017 is therefore a milestone; a result of prayers, fundraising efforts, sacrifices, and unity of purpose.

The procession movement of cars from the old address to the new worship space led by police detail, the unveiling of a memorial plaque on a building previous used as a social club were all very significant. The church is grateful to her many friends and the Kenyan Community for all the immense support.{PHOTOS}
