A BRIEF HISTRY
The fellowship established in 1982
under the able leadership of Pastor
Brown who was later called to Elliot.
In the ensuing years meetings took
place in the town library hall and then
in the Methodist hall in Van Riebeeck
street. It was during this time that
Rev Frikkie Labuschagne began his
ministry here in Maclear. September
1990 saw the construction of a
church building in Mill Street and in
1996 the facilities expanded to
include a manse on the same
property. Rev Jannie Goss assumed
responsibility for the congregation in
June that same year and April 2001
saw the arrival of Rev Mike & Jenny
Heppes who took the reigns but
Jenny's ill-health required that they
return to the warmer climate of
Natal. In November 2002 Rev Ian &
Gail Karshagen responded to a call.
