Kazi-Nia Baptist Church was birthed out of a vision from God to Pastor Lisa to plant a church in the Desire Community, the same community she grew up in, but gravely different. A place where the residents of the Estates and the surrounding community can learn and continue to grow in their spiritual development, concentrating on the "whole person" concept, mind, body, and spirit.
