The Altar Community was formed by a group of believers from Kenya that have grown together in Christ over the years. The church was birthed out of a desire to pass on a legacy of faith to the next generation and be a blessing to the city of Houston. Under the leadership of Pastor Michael Musembi who has also sensed an individual call to shepherd God's people this story continues to be written as God builds his church. As the community has continued to grow, Pastor E. Njagi Kaburu has taken over the leadership of the church to move it forward and fulfill the great commission. In August 2016, The Altar became a worshipping community of the First United Methodist Church. We continue to be a contemporary wprship service with an african flavor and are so excited to be part of a larger commuity of believers. We are excited about what God is doing and expectant about the future.
