A Church in community for the ccommunity

Our Background

The local church was founded by Rev. Magaja Jacob Makulubane in 1975 upon his return from theological training from Evangelical Church Bible School in Rustenburg. Rev. Makulubane started the church in a classroom in a school called Vulamehlo Primary School. Within a year the work grew faster and bigger than had been expected, and it needed a bigger space. In 1976 the church then found a bigger classroom in Ezazi Primary School until 1983. Because of his passion for the Lord, Rev. Makulubane had strong friendship with the bible school’s lecturer and missionary, Rev. Steward Snoek who helped him build the church in Mamelodi D1 section after having bought a piece of land there.

Rev. MJ. Makulubane served the church well for 42 years since 1975 until his retirement in 2017, at the age of 82 years.

Today the church is 48 years old, which means in two years’ time she will be celebrating her Jubilee to commemorate her 50th year of existence and mark the Lord’s faithfulness in building and sustaining his church through the five decades of existence.

Upon the retirement of veteran, pioneer, and founding father Rev. MJ Makulubane, the church invited Evangelist, Rev. MHT Buthelezi in 2019 to come in to take the pastoral reigns, which he surrendered in 2021 when he accepted a call to pastor another local church. The church then invited Pastor BD. Gumbi to lead her as from 1 January 2023 who is the current leader to date
