Recent events suggest that women in Christian marriages in Kenya may be at risk of experiencing violence, despite the belief that such marriages are less violent. This research examined predictors of violence against women in Christian marriages at ACK Cathedral Voi. The main aim of this research was to investigate violence against women in Christian marriages at ACK Cathedral church in Voi. The research was guided by the social learning theory. A design of descriptive research was utilized. The study employed stratified simple random sampling. A structured survey was given to the participants and the Likert scale was employed to evaluate their answers, with data analysis performed using SPSS-26 software and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. The study reveals violence against women in Christian marriages is primarily physical, verbal, and sexual, influenced by poverty, lack of education, cultural practices, gender discrimination, and economic instability. It suggests religious leaders provide mediation, counselling, mentorship, coaching, seminars, and team-building programs to address these issues. The church should also collaborate with the government for educational programs.
