Neema, a Bible-based church, launched in March 2015 as a Bible Study and Fellowship group. It initially focused on nurturing the Christian faith of the Kenyan community in Perth. Members first gathered for prayers and Bible study in their homes on Sunday afternoons. By May 27, 2015, the group began holding fortnightly Bible studies at Perth Bible College. Recognising the growing population of Swahili-speaking Christians in the Perth Region, the leadership held its inaugural church service on February 10, 2018. Since then, the church has experienced significant spiritual and numerical growth, consistently welcoming around 150 adults and 30 children each Sunday.

 

By 2024, Neema's Sunday attendance surged to over 100 adults and more than 50 children.

 

The name Neema, a Swahili word for "Grace," derives from Ephesians 2:8-9, a foundational verse for the church. Neema's vision transcends ministering solely to the Kenyan community in Perth; it is international. Compelled by the Great Commission, our mission is to share the Gospel of Christ with diverse nationalities in Perth and beyond, fostering spiritual growth and equipping them as true ambassadors of Christ. Additionally, we are committed to providing missionary support to individuals in Australia and Africa.
