Kenyan youths have been marginalized from mainstream economic activities since independence. This situation has had a negative impact such as slowed economic growth, a rise in crime and violence, and the spread of diseases. It is these issues that have prompted this study on the influence of church policies on the economic empowerment of youths with a specific focus on the PCEA Nyahururu Parish. The study was guided by the Positive Youth Development model. It employed the descriptive research design and targeted a population of 233respondents comprising of 220 youths and 13 leaders (2 congregation chairpersons, 1 clergy, 1 evangelist, 1 youth coordinator, and 8 youth leaders). From this population, a sample of 94respondentswas selected using the clustered random sampling method where the two congregations that make up the PCEA Nyahururu Parish formed the clusters. Quantitative data was collected from youths using structured questionnaires while qualitative data was collected from the church administrators using interview guides. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as percentages and means as well as inferential statistics. Qualitative data were analyzed using the thematic content analysis technique and results reported using quotes. Findings revealed that there is a low level of economic empowerment among the youths at the PCEA Nyahururu parish. Church policies on single parenthood and divorce/ separation have a statistically significant and negative contribution towards youth economic empowerment. Church policies on the use of modern technologies have a positive and statistically significant relationship with youth economic empowerment. The study recommends that churches should re-examine its policies in single parenthood and divorce/ separation.

This study aims to examine the effect of the number of members and own capital on business volume and SHU, as well as the SHU policy strategy. The research method used is an explanatory survey with the type of verification research. While the sampling technique used purposive sampling in order to obtain 12 KPRI PKPRI members according to predetermined criteria. The analysis technique uses path analysis supported by quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative data used is in the form of the Annual Member Meeting (RAT) report book for the 2015-2019 period. The results showed that the direct effect of the number of members on business volume had no positive and significant effect. The direct effect of own capital on business volume had a positive and significant effect. The direct effect of the amount on SHU has a negative and significant effect. The direct effect of own capital on SHU has a positive and significant effect. The direct effect of business volume on SHU has a positive and significant effect. The indirect effect of the number of members on SHU through business volume has a positive and significant effect. The indirect effect of own capital on SHU through business volume has a positive and significant effect. Total determinants for the first and second models, namely 43.70% and 62.80% of the overall model which can explain the effect of exogenous variables on endogenous variables. Meanwhile, the remaining 56.30% and 37.20% were influenced by other factors not examined.
