Rhema Gospel Church in Dallas secures a permanent facility, a milestone for the Kenyan diaspora in Texas that signals a shift from temporary survival to establishing deep roots abroad.

In the sprawling suburbs of Dallas, Texas, a Kenyan dream has found a permanent address. Rhema Gospel Church, a vibrant congregation of the Kenyan diaspora, has acquired its own facility in Farmers Branch, a move leaders are calling a "Kairos moment" for the community.
For years, many diaspora churches have operated as "spiritual squatters," renting school halls or community centers with restrictive hours. Rhema’s move to 13315 Wilmington Drive changes the narrative. "We hold the keys now," the leadership announced. "This is our territory."
This acquisition signifies the maturing of the Kenyan diaspora in the US. They are no longer just temporary workers sending money home; they are establishing roots, building institutions, and creating generational wealth abroad. The church serves as a cultural hub—a place where Swahili is spoken, Kenyan food is shared ("swallowship"), and new immigrants find a landing pad.
As the congregation celebrated their first service in the new sanctuary, the mood was electric. It is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the Kenyan spirit—ambitious, faithful, and community-driven, no matter where in the world it finds itself.
