About
Sharing Christ, Serving the City
Tamboerskloof Community Church is a new, Christ-centred church plant for the people of Tamboerskloof and surrounds.
For the past fifty years, the Evangelische Stadtmission am Kap (Evangelical City Mission: Cape Town) has met here in Tamboerskloof as a church for the German community in Cape Town and surrounding areas. While thankful to God for this heritage and trusting in him for the future of our German work, we felt called to reach out to the non-German-speaking community around us.
Our current English minister, Matthew Courtney, has been seconded to us by REACH-SA to lead this project. Since he joined us in 2022, we have begun a number of English-language ministries out of our German congregation (under the title: “Tamboerskloof Community Church”) and have integrated a regular English-language service into our monthly schedule.
Over time, with God’s help, we aim to develop these ministries further and to establish a weekly English service in addition to our German services. You can learn more about our various English ministries here, and subscribe to our newsletter to learn how you can be praying for this work. We hope and pray that this church plant will be a blessing to our city.
Our Mission
Evangelism / Discipleship / Growth
Evangelism
Our first step is to go out and meet our neighbours, sharing the gospel through genuine personal relationships.
Discipleship
Our next step will be to begin small groups where we can spend time building a faithful community around God’s Word.
Growth
When we are ready, we hope to offer a weekly English service, continuing to grow community around God’s Word through evangelism and discipleship.
