History

Kettering Christian Centre (KCC) was originally planted by the late David Campbell in the 1980's. He had a passionate zeal for the lost and with great vision acquired Timms, the one-time electrical warehouse in Pollard Street, opening in 1993.

After his diagnosis of a brain tumour in 1999, Brian & Heather Hannant (now leading Gateway Community Church in the south of the town) moved from Devon to caretake the work for a short time.

Not long after Pastor David was promoted to glory, the work of leading the church was handed over to local man, Matt Buckingham, who had been an assistant Pastor in Wellingborough Christian centre. Matt and his wife Julie set up many admirable projects in the town among young people, homeless and drug users. They moved on in 2007 and Sam Munangatire took over as Pastor.

The church has been through good and bad times during the four years since Pastor Sam took over. It has gone through a lot of spiritual challenges & attacks but we thank God for the spirit of endurance and the tenacity which Pastor Sam & team have shown over the years regarding the work of God at KCC. It is the nature of God's work that at times you are up the mountain and at other times you are in the valleys. KCC is very much anchored on prayer and the strong teaching of God's Word. A lot of work has also been done in and around the church building since Pastor Sam took over. We are beginning to see a strong foundation emerging spiritually. It has taken a while but we give glory to God that all good things come in God's timing.
