Kingsway International Christian Centre

Kingsway International Christian Centre is a Pentecostal megachurch founded in London in September 1992, when Matthew Ashimolowo and about 300 members began renting a school hall in North London. The Nigerian-born Ashimolowo still leads the church, which grew to 3,000 members within three years and became one of the largest congregations in the United Kingdom. KICC now operates from its Prayer City headquarters in Chatham, Kent, draws thousands to Sunday services, and has run television broadcasts since its early years.

KICC reaches a combined 304,974 followers across three platforms. YouTube leads at 215,000 subscribers on @KICCOnline, and that number grew 157.79 percent over the past year, one of the fastest growth rates anywhere in the index. Facebook adds 51,090 followers and Instagram brings 38,884 on an unverified account. The church has no tracked TikTok presence. The YouTube channel was still publishing as of June 9, 2026, which keeps the weekly content engine running alongside the growth spike.

The number that matters here is 157.79. KICC more than doubled its YouTube subscriber base in a single year, which drives a velocity score of 73.6, among the highest in the top 40. A church founded in 1992 finding its sharpest digital growth three decades in is unusual, and it suggests the content strategy changed and the algorithm noticed. The breadth score of 82.5 shows the foundation is solid across three platforms, but reach is the constraint: 305K combined followers is modest for this tier. If the current YouTube run continues, that number will not stay modest for long.
