About Andrew Murray Pretoria

It is with hope and joy that we look forward to the worshipping life of the congregation of Dutch Reformed Church Andrew Murray Pretoria.

*  We are a family-sized faith community striving to be a real spiritual family.
*  We are multicultural and multilingual.
*  We are comprised of people from all walks of life and many different faith backgrounds.
*  We practice being warm, inviting and accepting.
*  We strive to live what we confess to believe, and we do so by the vision of being a faith community where: anyone is welcome, nobody is perfect and anything is possible.

This being more than just words, we are excited and committed to sharing events and services with the Reforming Church, with whom we share our facilities and our hearts.
We experience that God shows us his faithfulness and provides generously and consistently. Our congregation is growing slowly, and we are in a healthier state than we have been in a few years. We believe we need to focus on what is good, strengthen it, and do better where we have challenges.

We can be more inclusive, we can welcome the stranger more warmly, invite those without a spiritual home more eagerly, offer ourselves in service more freely, practice being generous with our resources, time and ourselves more diligently. No matter what challenges the future brings, God is our rock, this is his church, and we are his people.

So, with our eyes fixed firmly on God and his steadfastness, we want to grow into the future, following where He leads us. As a congregation, we want to passionately strive to help in creating a climate for growth and depth, to happen in every child of God who accepts his invitations to greater intimacy. In dependence on God, we continue to plan some exciting events, to keep building the intimate koinonia which we have experienced in the past.

We pray that we all will accept the invitations of the Spirit of God to be a faith-family that grows in depth of wisdom, in the courage to be obedient, in living love and grace, and in the freedom to be who God meant us to be.
