This study evaluated crisis preparedness in churches and focused mainly on crisis
communication in Parklands Baptist Church (PBC) in Nairobi, Kenya. The study’s main objective was to find
out the types of crises that have affected the church in the past 5 years. The study employed a descriptive
research design. The study established that the church experiences crisis but mostly from a rare to often basis. A
sizeable number of PBC congregants indicated to have observed different crises in the church. It was inferred
that the church rarely communicates to inform about crises to its congregants and this would explain why most
congregants in Churches held the belief that the church is rarely engulfed in crises
