A church being planted in Pretoria

Raising Sons and Daughters for God

An Apostolic and Prophetic, Gospel-centred and Kingdom-minded church being planted in Pretoria.

A spiritual House where people encounter Jesus Christ, become rooted in His Word, grow in spiritual family, and are matured, equipped and sent to represent Him in every sphere of life and society.

A House that gathers and sends

We gather to worship God, hear His Word, receive ministry and grow together. We are equipped to carry the life of Christ into our homes, campuses, workplaces, professions, businesses and communities.

Our desire is to see people deeply rooted in Christ and faithfully representing Him wherever He has placed them. Those who are raised should become capable of raising others.

These smaller communities provide space to be known, build relationships, pray, engage with Scripture and receive care as we grow together in Christ.

The word that defined the House

“Raise sons for Me.”
