The Eldoret Church popularly known as Praise Celebration Centre
was launched in November 1988. It lies on a five-acre piece
of land, on which sits a 6000-seater sanctuary, church offices,
Sunday school facility, a school, a clinic among others.
It was launched through film shows, crusades, rallies, and
seminars at the old Mosop cinema hall. As a result of diligence
in the work done the church grew into two services and eventually
into three as initial venue of worship became smaller.

| The
Challenge of Growth |
As
the church increased and grew over the years the place for
worship became a challenge as the hall became smaller. This
forced services to be conducted in tents, in the open field
under trees, in the stadiums before eventually moving to the
current facility.

of life and from all tribes.
|
| Worship
|
 We
believe in worship, as this is the sacrifice of our lips to
the Lord.
This act of worship invites the presence of God and we get
to magnify Him humbling before Him. We give Him the reverence
and the Preeminence in our lives.
We celebrate the LORD and rejoice in His wonderful acts. (Colossians
3: 16)
The Music department (Impact Choir) produces music, develops
talent and worship leaders identify and create opportunity
for singing, dancing and reciting poems and praying as expressions
of our worship to GOD.
|
| The
Word |
The
Ministry of the Word is given emphasis as we consider this
as God speaking to His people after they have ministered to
Him.
The essence of our services is to complete a relational cycle
where God and man have unflawed communion. In deed every activity
in the service is given every duly attention as an act of
service/worship to the LORD, be it ushering, car marshalling
(Car Parking), singing or receiving of the guests. Giving
is a worship response and is part of the worship.
The ministry believes in a living God who reaches out to His
people. Miracles, signs and wonders are considered daily bread
to believers in this place. The leadership of the Holy Spirit
is given the Preeminence that it deserves. In filling of The
Holy Spirit and the manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit
are regular occurrence in this place of power.
