Pastors Solo and Sarah Mwania have served as the Lead Pastors of City Church since January 2014. Together, they are passionate about building a thriving, Spirit-filled church where people encounter Jesus, grow in authentic community, discover their God-given purpose, and are equipped to make a lasting difference in their neighborhoods, their nation, and around the world.

Their ministry is built on the conviction that the local church is God's primary instrument for transforming lives, strengthening families, developing leaders, and advancing the Great Commission. They count it a privilege to shepherd a church family that is committed to loving God, loving people, making disciples, and sharing the hope of Jesus both locally and around the world.

A defining emphasis of their ministry is global missions. They are deeply committed to reaching unreached people groups through strategic partnerships, church planting, leadership development, and long-term missions. City Church actively invests in nations such as Japan—one of the least-reached countries in the world—as well as other regions where access to the Gospel remains limited. Their vision is to see every believer embrace the call to pray, give, send, and go so that every nation can hear the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Solo was born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, where he discovered God's call to ministry as a teenager. While serving in church leadership, he helped pioneer a church plant in Nairobi, an experience that ignited his lifelong passion for church planting, leadership development, and the local church. Sarah was raised at City Church in Lincoln, Nebraska, where she developed a deep love for Jesus, His Church, and serving others from an early age.

Their story began in Kenya in 2000 while Sarah was serving as a volunteer registered nurse at an orphanage and Solo was helping pioneer a church alongside Sarah's missionary uncle. Following a two-year long-distance courtship, they were married in August 2002 at City Church and have faithfully served in ministry together ever since.

Family remains one of their greatest callings. Together they are the proud parents of eleven children and are joyfully anticipating their first grandchild. Their home reflects their commitment to discipleship, hospitality, generosity, and raising the next generation to know and follow Christ.

In addition to leading City Church, Pastor Solo is the founder and President of Freedom Financial and the co-founder and President of Freedom Family Mortgage, a multi-state mortgage company. Through coaching, speaking, and financial leadership, he has helped countless individuals and families experience financial freedom by applying Biblical stewardship and practical financial wisdom. He also speaks nationally and internationally, equipping churches, leaders, businesses, and organizations in leadership, discipleship, financial stewardship, and the Great Commission.

Sarah, a registered nurse by training, is a published author, speaker, and widely respected social media influencer whose practical vlogs on faith, parenting, homemaking, hospitality, and intentional living reach hundreds of thousands of households each week. Through her authentic teaching and encouragement, she inspires families around the world to build Christ-centered homes where faith is lived out in everyday life.

Together, Solo and Sarah believe that healthy churches are built by healthy leaders, healthy marriages, and healthy families. Their greatest passion is to see people transformed by the Gospel, equipped to fulfill God's purpose, and empowered to influence their communities and the nations for Christ.

Their shared mission is to help people know Jesus deeply, build strong families, lead with integrity, experience Biblical freedom, and leave a legacy that advances the Kingdom of God for generations to come.
