The Church Bishop Who Was Fined for Holding Noisy 3am Service Has Something to Say About It

Bishop Climate Irungu, the Bishop of the church which was fined for holding 3am programs, has said the church won't stop their early morning services - because that's the time when "demons are active".

It will be recalled that the Kingdom Church in Camberwell, south London, faced a fine of £7,740.50 earlier this month after residents nearby complained about sleepless nights.

But the church leader has insisted that the “loud preaching” and “amplified music” on Saturday mornings will go on because of their "religious beliefs".

Bishop Climate Irungu says that they have worked on solving noise issues by soundproofing with a new floor and ceiling.

The nighttime is "the time when we’re dealing with spiritual things, when the spiritual world is busy".

"That's the time when demons are more active, when people are asleep, that's when they will come," Irungu told the Standard.

The 41-year-old, who heads up 400 churches worldwide, says people come from far and wide to be helped by the services at the Pentecostal Kingdom Church with their troubles including sickness, financial hardship and “demonic soul ties”.

He said that hate mail from atheists and "people like witches and Satanists" will be dealt with by God .

“I’m hoping that people who have been mocking us, people speaking bad things – God is going to deal with them."

Southwark Council who pursued the noise complaint is also in his sights, as they claim they tried to settle out of court, and he denies it.

Their early-morning religious events are still on the timetable, though, he adds: "Our 3am service has helped hundreds of people whom have all shared their testimony about what God has done for them.”
