President William Ruto on Sunday attended a church service at Africa Inland Church in Homa Bay.
Normal prayer programmes had to be delayed after it was announced President Ruto would worship at the church.
The church leadership was notified of Ruto's attendance on Saturday evening.
He is expected to preside over a fundraiser for the construction of the church.
The church which normally conducts three services was forced to have a single service.
Ruth Wekaya, a church member, said they changed the programmes after receiving information that the president would come to the church.
"Adequate preparations had to be done because we were waiting for visitors to worship together," Wekaya said.
Until Saturday evening, Lake Basin Development Authority managing director Raymond Omollo was to represent the president in the funds drive before the President's program was changed.
Church presiding bishop Bernard Ondiek said they delayed the program after the State officials took over.
Rev Ondiek said a number of clerics from other churches, political leaders and residents will also attend the church service.
