1.0 Introduction
The VFIM leadership is pursuing the construction of the below church Building. This project has the full support of the church members and stakeholders.
1.1 Project Implementation and Management
The project will be managed and supervised by a project team from the VFIM. The team will be led by Rev. Joshua Wachira assisted by the other pastors and church elders. The project management team will include the following:
- Rev. Joshua Wachira-Lead Pastor

- Victor Machoka- Treasurer
The project team will be responsible for the various project activities that will be outlined in the project work plan. The church members will also have a role to play in the implementation of this project. In particular church members will be responsible for continual monitoring of the progress of implementation and accountability for resources deployed.
Materials will be purchased in advance and made available at the construction site.
Valuable materials will be guarded at the site.
The building plan has been designed by an engineer according to the recommendations of VFIM and National Construction Authority.
The project team of church construction will hold meetings as part of its internal assessment and reporting of the project on a bi-weekly basis.
The implications of these reviews would be used for further planning. In the assessment, monitoring and evaluation, the Lead Pastor Rev Joshua Wachira will closely collaborate with project donors and other stakeholders from the starting phase, implementation phase and to the continuing phase of the project.
The Church will allow physical project evaluation and visitations for donors and stakeholders of the Church to come and see physically what is done and evaluate, audit and make an open assessment of the project.
Also the church members will be updated during Sunday services on the progress of the construction of the sanctuary.
1.3 Project Output and Benefits
The Church Building construction will have many benefits into the surrounding community as explained here below: -
1.3.1Spiritual and Social Benefits
“Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Consider your ways! Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the LORD.”
Haggai 1:7-8 NKJV
When the project of Construction of the permanent church building is realized, it’s our belief as a Church it will surely please of God and that each participant will experience God in a unique an unprecedented ways. Furthermore the benefits enumerated below will be realized.
There will be a place:
