Are you a new Christian?


Accepting Jesus as the Leader of your life is the most important and powerful decision you have ever made! You accepted Jesus as the one who sets you right with God and as the Saviour you want to live for with passion and with a grateful heart. You now are a child of God – because of what Jesus has done for you personally.

Now, it is also important to share your decision with others, including your peers, who follow Jesus.

You may not know someone because you never had a Christian friend before – then you are welcome to call a church that makes everyone feels at home – and invites the community to Church, close to where you live.  You may call us if it is convenient for you to contact someone in the Pretoria area, at (012) 656 7750 or simply leave a comment, with your email address, on this page. We are looking forward to hear about your experience and can advise you on a good church in your neighbourhood.

It is important that you take the next step as soon as possible. Your friends you had till now may not be supportive of your decision to follow Jesus and may even mock you for it.  You now need a supportive “family” that is excited about your decision to be a Christian – and can help you to “take the next step” - to serve God under all circumstances.  

Find a church where the Bible is respected as God’s Word and where God, the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is served and loved. Or join a Bible Study or small group where you can share your excitement about Jesus and about serving God!

And start reading the Bible in a good and easy to understand English version such as the “New International Version”.   We suggest that you start by reading the Gospel according to John, the 4th book in the New Testament.
