AIC Diaspora Area

Our relationship with AIC Kenya

The authority the Area operates under, what AIC Kenya decides, what the Area reports, and what it may not do on its own.

Constitutional alignment

AIC Diaspora Area operates under the spiritual and administrative authority of Africa Inland Church (AIC) Kenya, in accordance with the AIC Kenya Constitution and approved policies.

What the Diaspora Area is

Diaspora Area refers to the recognised AIC ministry structure serving members and fellowships outside Kenya under authorised AIC Kenya oversight.
