In a financial revelation that’s shaking the altar and the boardroom alike, Christ Is The Answer Ministries (CITAM) has declared an astonishing Sh2.4 billion income — and a remarkable Sh115.3 million surplus after tax. Yes, church is big business… and CITAM is leading the way!
The megachurch, known for its expansive sanctuaries, polished media presence, and city-wide reach, is proving that faith and financial acumen can go hand-in-hand. From faithful tithing to strategic ventures, CITAM’s latest numbers have tongues wagging and calculators clicking.
Branch Breakdown – Where the Billions Flowed From
Brace yourself — here’s how the Sh2.4B pie was sliced:
Valley Road: Sh404 million (16.8%) — the mother church isn’t just ministering, it’s multiplying!
Woodley: Sh253 million (10.5%) — quiet neighborhood, powerful pockets.
Karen: Sh215 million (9.0%) — where worship meets wealth.
Thika Road: Sh146 million (6.1%) — sermons and shillings side-by-side.
Buruburu: Sh127 million (5.3%) — faith with financial fire.
Ngong’: Sh104 million (4.3%) — prayers on the hilltop, billions in the basket.
Others: A combined Sh1.15 billion (47.9%) — nearly half of CITAM’s entire income generated outside the spotlight!
Surplus or Spiritual Success?
While churches often shy away from revealing their financial books, CITAM has boldly laid its numbers bare — drawing admiration for transparency and criticism for commercialism. The Sh115 million surplus, declared after taxes, places CITAM in the league of highly profitable NGOs and even rivals some counties’ development funds.
Some faithful hail this as proof of divine blessing and excellent stewardship, while skeptics question whether the church is drifting into boardroom territory. With such figures, it’s clear CITAM is not just feeding souls — it’s fueling a spiritual economy.
The Bigger Picture
This report comes at a time when Kenyans are increasingly questioning the role of megachurches in society, their business arms, and how funds are utilized. CITAM’s disclosure might set a precedent, or stir a hornet’s nest.
Still, one truth stands firm: CITAM is not just preaching the gospel — it’s mastering the math.
