The Anglican Church of Kenya Church Structure

The synod is the governing council of the church as a body, through its three houses, namely the House of Bishops, the Clergy and the Laity. This committee consists of five members in a diocese, who in accordance with the constitution deliberate on all matters pertaining to the church including spiritual discipline and gives full synodical authority to any act of synod.

This is a sub-committee appointed by the Provincial Synod to attend to urgent matters arising, which do not necessarily require the attention of the Provincial Synod. The boards of mission, finance, education/training and sciences channel matters through this sub-committee for deliberation before receiving the final mandate from the Provincial Synod. It consists of three members in a diocese.

This board, through the departments of Mothers Union, Kenya Anglican Youth Organisation (KAYO), Sunday School, Boys & Girls Brigade, Hospital Chaplaincy, Armed Forces Chaplaincy and Diocesan Missionary Association (DMA) & Evangelism, is the evangelistic arm of the Anglican Church of Kenya obeying the command of Christ to preach the gospel to every person.
