Pastor Muriithi Biography
Pastor Muriithi grew up the second born in a Christian family but only gave his life to Christ after his form four exams. He knew God existed and he planned to give Him my life when he was much older, after he had sampled all that life had to offer! So what made him make the critical decision? Muriithi wasn’t supposed to end up as a pastor, given his past (studied Biochemistry in university) but here he is about to celebrate the church’s 10th year since its doors opened under his able hands.
So from playing rugby in “Patch” (Nairobi School), to Mean Machine (UoN rugby team) to the pulpit.In Form 3, he was already playing for my “Patch” rugby team, a major feat but he was also doing very well in class, then university with the rugby lifestyle – he was basically living a celebrity life.
There was this time his dad was driving him back to school and he asked him what subjects he should do and he said sciences because some of his richest pals were pharmacists so I studied pharmacy hoping to be a millionaire by the time I was clocking 30.But while in university, he met a pastor from Nairobi Chapel who roped him into the church. His girlfriend was going in for some one-year internship at the same church and somehow, he found himself going as well and the rest is history.
Pastor Muriithi “founded” Mavuno Church and over time, it has gained notoriety as the unconventional new-age church that doesn’t exactly subscribe to the model.

While a biochemistry student at the University of Nairobi, Muriithi met his wife Carol. ‘We had been in the same class for over a year and became best friends as we walked to class and studied together. One day, she went on a class trip for a week and I missed her so much that it finally dawned on me that this was the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with!’ They were both interns at the Nairobi Chapel for a year after their studies and were engaged soon after that.
Both Muriithi and Carol studied theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in the US after which Pst. Carol went on to do a second masters degree in Psychology at Azusa Pacific University. ‘Being in school together was a wonderful God-given gift; it was during that time that we developed many of our convictions about the church, ministry, marriage and the family.’ They have three children; Muini, Wairimu and Wanjau. They are passionate about helping couples strengthen their marriages and are regularly invited by different churches to speak at marriage enrichment retreats. ‘As a young couple, God graciously equipped us with knowledge and wisdom that saved our marriage. We made a commitment back then to bless other couples in the same way that we had been blessed’.
