The Upper Kabete Christian Union started way back in early 1972 as a branch of the Main Campus Christian Union (Kabete branch). During those days there were no formal meetings or meeting places within the campus and the membership comprised of only five people; Prof. Nyagah, Mr. Mutiga among others.

During those days, Prof. Allan B. Carls was the patron who helped these young believers in their worship matters. He also offered them transport to St. Andrews church for Sunday services.

The first committee was made up of two people; a chairman and a secretary because of having few members. By 1976 a larger executive committee was formed of about 7 people because the membership had increased. This executive committee pushed for the registration of the union as an independent body to the registrar of societies. An application letter was written and a constitution too (the first constitution for the union). This executive committee comprised of:
– Samuel Muruiki – Chairman
– Florence Lenga – Vice Chairman
– Edwin Caleb Ikitoo – secretary
– Rahab Ngige – Vice Secretary
– Elizabeth Kabiru – Treasurer
– John Mwangi – Prayer and publicity Secretary
– Ben Omeke – Bookstall manager
– Francis Wahome – co- opted member

The constitution stated the name of the union would be ‘THE KABETE CAMPUS CHRISTIAN UNION’. This constitution also stipulated the aims, doctrinal basis, electral process, duties of office bearers and the amendment procedures to the union’s constitiution. The aims and the doctrinal basis are retained to date.

The first constitution was accepted by the registrar of societies and the Kabete Campus Christian union was officially registered on the 18th January 1977(Certificate No. 8123.). The union was registered under the following executive committee:
1. Joshua Wathanga – chairman
2. Josiah M. Kinama – vice chairman
3. Lucy w. Wanjala – secretary
4. Julius K. Karia – vice secretary
5. Purity Kamanyuya – Treasurer
6. Isaiah Mbithi – bookstall manager and publicity secretary
7. Jack Nanua – prayer secretary

The leadership positions given were as stipulated in the constitution.
On 28th January 1978 the Union opened a saving account with the Barclays bank limited.
