Our Story
The KRC Journey

The church began in Kinondoni Shamba in 1972, with the first pastor being Nzowa from the mother church in Temeke. At the beginning of 1973, the church was relocated from the Kinondoni Shamba area and a new building was constructed at Kinondoni โ€œB,โ€ where it currently stands. Pastor Nzowa left, and he was succeeded by Pastor Theofilo Kimaro, who did not stay long, and was later followed by Pastor Gardneza Lukeyi. Due to his wifeโ€™s illness, Pastor Lukeyi had to leave, and for a period the church remained without a pastor. Missionary Ford oversaw the church together with the Senior Pastor of Temeke, the late Rev. Simon Mallya.Later, Brother Mark Mhina, who had been the missionaryโ€™s interpreter, was seen as capable of assisting with pastoral duties between 1973 and 1974, and was eventually appointed as a full pastor until October 1981. Due to leadership and church development reasons, the first pastoral transfers within the T.A.G. church were carried out, and Pastor Mark Mhina was transferred to T.A.G. Dodoma mjini. He was replaced by Pastor Rogathe Z. Swai from Arusha mjini, who took over the church when it had between 160โ€“170 members.The church continued to grow, and by 1990 the membership had reached nearly 1,000, and by the year 2000 it had grown to about 2,000 members. Currently, the church has many members, 7 pastors, 12 church elders, deacons and departmental leaders, as well as no fewer than 200 workers. Overall, God has sustained the church; His goodness, favor, faithfulness, and grace have caused it to grow and be strengthened in an extraordinary way. The great God of Jesus Christ has been our Ebenezer and our peace in Kinondoni Revival Church (T.A.G.)โ€ฆ โ€œTo do Your will, O my God, is my delight; yes, Your law is within my heart.โ€ Psalm 40:8.

A vibrant community in the heart of Kinondoni, dedicated to spreading God's love and bringing transformation to every life we touch.
