African Inland Church

The African Inland Church (AIC) is a Christian denomination that originated in East Africa in the early 20th century, driven by missionary work from the African Inland Mission. It emphasizes indigenous leadership, worship, and cultural expressions while maintaining a commitment to evangelical principles. The church focuses on community development, education, and social services alongside spiritual growth. Known for its vibrant worship practices, the AIC has grown significantly, particularly in Kenya and Tanzania, and seeks to integrate faith with everyday life, addressing both spiritual and material needs within local communities.
