History

In 2001, church-planters from the States came to Johannesburg. Their goal was to assist local churches in their outreach. However, as time went by, they saw the great need for sound local churches in Johannesburg - particularly one with a distinct love for the Jewish people.

On May 25th 2003, with the help of another church-planter and a national who would later become the senior pastor, they held the first service of New Covenant Baptist Church. Meeting in a small, local Community Centre, the Lord chose to add many people in a relatively short period of time.

Then, in July 2005, the church ordained its first national pastor. Meeting originally in a Recreation Centre in Sandringham, it was forced to move to a rented chapel in 2006, to a Bowling Club in January 2008, to a Primary School in September of 2008. However, in 2017, the church was finally blessed with its own facilities. New Covenant continues on, trusting that past and present grace are evidence for much future grace to come.
