The Africa Gospel Church

As the medical ministry of the Africa Gospel Church, Tenwek Hospital falls under the Compassion Department in the Health Outreach Programme section. We draw our Christian values and standard operating procedures from biblically inspired teaching, as instructed by the doctrines of the AGC.

The Africa Gospel Church plays the following roles in the management of Tenwek Hospital:

  • Provides spiritual support and guidance
  • Nominates the board of trustees who oversee the running of the hospital
  • The bishop and assistant bishop of the AGC serve as board chair and assistant board chair respectively
  • Connects Tenwek with strategic partners and stakeholders who help propel the hospital towards growth

We are proud to be affiliated with the Africa Gospel Church and look forward to a continued and sustained relationship.
