Our Heritage

ACK St. Paul's Karen West is a parish of the Anglican Church of Kenya, located in the affluent Karen suburb of Nairobi. The ACK's presence in Kenya dates back to 1844, when Church Missionary Society (CMS) missionary Dr. Johann Ludwig Krapf arrived in Mombasa, laying the foundation for Anglicanism in the region. The church expanded inland, reaching central Kenya by the early 20th century amid colonial settlement. The Diocese of Nairobi, which originally encompassed Karen, was created in 1955 from the Diocese of Mombasa. In 2002, the All Saints' Cathedral Diocese was carved out from Nairobi Diocese to better serve growing urban areas, including Karen. St. Paul's Karen West falls under this diocese, reflecting the ACK's adaptation to post-independence growth and urbanization in Nairobi's suburbs.
