After more than a decade away from church, the mother of two stepped into a place of worship for the first time in what she estimates to be between 12 and 15 years, a move that quickly sparked conversation among her fans and followers.
Corazon attended a service at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Nairobi, accompanied by her children, Taiyari Kiarie and Koko Kiarie.
Corazon attended a service at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Nairobi, accompanied by her children, Taiyari Kiarie and Koko Kiarie.
The visit, she revealed, was not driven by a sudden spiritual awakening or a return to organized religion, but rather by a deliberate parenting choice rooted in openness and freedom of belief.
Sharing her experience online, Corazon admitted that she genuinely enjoyed the church service. What stood out for her was the simplicity of the fellowship.

According to the socialite, the service focused mainly on teaching the gospel without what she described as excessive preaching, dramatics, or prolonged singing, elements she says often characterize many modern church services.
Despite the positive experience, Corazon was clear and honest about her personal beliefs. She disclosed that she has been largely irreligious for many years, a position that influenced her long absence from church and organized religion as a whole.
This long-held stance, she explained, is also why she chose to step out of the sanctuary when it was time for Holy Communion, an act she felt she could not participate in authentically.
The socialite emphasized that her decision to attend church was entirely for the benefit of her children.

She explained that she wants Taiyari and Koko to be exposed to Christianity at a young age, not as a form of indoctrination, but as an opportunity to learn and experience faith firsthand. In her view, exposure is essential for informed choice later in life.
“I want them to have the right to choose whether they want to follow Christianity, Islam, or be non-religious or atheists,” Corazon shared.
“I want them to experience these things when they are young so that when they grow older, they can make their own decision.”
Corazon also reflected on her personal journey with religion, noting that there was a point in her life when she consciously decided that religion would not be the center of her existence.

However, she clarified that her decision did not mean she had permanently shut the door on faith.
“I’m not saying my door is completely closed to religion,” she explained.

“I just reached a place where I felt it wasn’t going to be the center of my life.”
While she may not identify as religious, Corazon revealed that she plans to continue attending church with her children, purely to support their exposure and understanding of different belief systems.
