CITAM Valley Road recently celebrated a remarkable milestone forty years since the commissioning of its sanctuary. The week leading to the celebration, was one filled with joy, reflection, and deep gratitude as congregants, leaders, and guests gathered to honour God’s enduring faithfulness through the decades. Under the theme “Faithful Through Generations – From Glory to Glory,” the celebration became both a reflection on a rich heritage and a declaration of faith for the years ahead.
Grounded in the powerful reminder from 1 Kings 8:56, that “not one word has failed of all His good promises,” the anniversary echoed a story of God’s unwavering hand upon His people. From humble beginnings to becoming a flagship assembly of impact and transformation, the journey of CITAM Valley Road testified that God truly remains faithful through every generation.
The week-long celebration brought together the church family for revival evenings. Each day carried a distinct focus that told a story of God’s grace, recalling His faithfulness, holding on to His promises through seasons of challenge, celebrating His work through generations, and finally, embracing the call to move from glory to glory.
Music ministers such as Kestin Mbogo, Pitson, Mojishot Baba, and Florence Mureithi led powerful sessions that lifted the hearts of worshippers. The songs “Revive Us Again” and “Firm Foundation” became anthems of gratitude and surrender, echoing through the sanctuary as voices united in praise.
Speakers including Bishop Calisto Odede, Deputy Bishop Rev. Justus Mugambi, Bishop Emeritus Bonface Adoyo and host Senior Pastor Rev. Jesse Mwai, delivered deeply stirring messages that reflected on God’s faithfulness, the importance of generational continuity, and the call to greater glory ahead. Their words inspired both the older and younger generations to rededicate themselves to the work of the Kingdom.
As part of the celebrations, the church took time to honour the pioneers, former pastors, and long-serving members who laid the foundation for what CITAM Valley Road is today. There was also a photo gallery and a Hall of Fame showcasing the faces and faith of those who had served faithfully through the years.
It was not only a celebration of the past but also a charge to the next generation. The youth and children played a visible role through worship, drama, spoken word, and song symbolizing the baton being passed on. Their presence reminded the congregation that the legacy of faith must continue beyond today.
From its early days to this great milestone, CITAM Valley Road, the mother-church continues to be a witness to God’s unchanging nature. Truly, not one word of His good promise has failed. And as the church moves forward, it does so with confidence that the same God who has been faithful through generations will continue to lead it from glory to glory.
