A Life of Grace.
A Shared Calling.
For more than three decades, our journey has been shaped by the grace of God, the local church, and a shared desire to see people established in Christ.
Our Story
Welcome to our online home. This website reflects a grace-filled ministry journey of more than 30 years, shared by Simon and Mary Mbatia together with faithful co-laborers who have served through many seasons.
Across pastoral ministry, biblical teaching, discipleship, leadership development, media outreach, music ministry, and children’s ministry, one conviction has remained constant: Christ is enough, grace is the foundation, and discipleship should lead believers into maturity.
Simon Mbatia
Apostle · Teacher
I am Simon Mbatia, called to proclaim the gospel of Christ and establish His people in the truth of grace. Over the past three decades I have served in apostolic leadership, biblical teaching, discipleship and training, media outreach, and music ministry.
Currently I serve as Apostolic Leader of Grace Fountain Church in Nairobi, Kenya. I am also one of the Directors of Set Free Grace Bible College and serve with the Churches & Ministries in Christ Association (CAMICA).
Mary Mbatia
Pastor · Children’s Minister · Counselor
I am Mary Mbatia, a passionate pastor with a God-given calling to minister to people of all ages. I serve alongside my husband Simon at Grace Fountain Church, building up the Body of Christ through the gospel of grace.
Children’s ministry is a central part of my life and calling. Through the years I have trained children’s ministers, authored practical biblically sound teaching materials, and developed ministry approaches that focus on heart transformation rather than behaviour change alone. My pastoral work also includes counselling and shepherding individuals and families.

Our Ministry Team
We are deeply grateful for the dedicated men and women of God who serve with us. Our team includes pastors, teachers, worship leaders, facilitators, media and technical personnel, and administrative support.
What Shapes Our Ministry
These are convictions that shape how we teach, disciple, lead, and serve.
Christ at the Centre
The ministry begins and ends with Christ: His person, His finished work, and His life in the believer.
Grace as the Foundation
We teach from the sufficiency of Christ, not from fear, legalism, manipulation, or performance.
Discipleship Toward Maturity
The goal is not merely information, but believers growing into mature expression of the life they have received.
Ministry in Partnership
We value the local church, faithful co-laborers, healthy accountability, and serving together without personality-centred ministry.
