Statement of Faith
What we believe and confess together: one in Christ, diverse in denominational expression.
Preamble
We, the Church and Clergy Association of Kenya (CCAK), an umbrella body uniting the Body of Christ in Kenya, affirm our unity in Christ while respecting our diversity in denominational expression. We are called to defend the faith, protect freedom of worship, and promote godly leadership and community transformation for the Republic of Kenya.
Ten articles of faith

03
Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His atoning death on the cross, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal, visible return in power and glory.

Genesis 1:27 · Constitution of Kenya, Article 32

Integrity Leadership and Community Empowerment

Matthew 5:13–16 · Micah 6:8 · Titus 1:7–8
09
Family, Righteousness and Nationhood
We believe in the sanctity of family as ordained by God, in righteousness that exalts a nation, in peace, unity, and the pursuit of justice for all Kenyans.

The Blessed Hope
We believe in the resurrection of the dead, eternal life for the righteous, and the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to judge and to reign in righteousness.

Our commitment as CCAK
United around Christ and His Word
Therefore, we unite not around personalities or denominations, but around Christ and His Word, to speak with one voice for the Church, to defend freedom of worship, to demand integrity in pulpit and public leadership, and to empower our communities for a God-fearing Kenya.
We affirm to support the true gospel of Jesus Christ, dividing the word of God correctly through sound doctrine only, that brings honour to our Lord Jesus Christ.
One Church, One Voice, One Nation Under God
