The United Church of God - South Africa is a Christian church with congregations around South Africa and in most regions of the world. We are a part of the United Church of God, An International Association.

The Church is to proclaim to the world the same 'Gospel of the Kingdom of God' taught by Jesus Christ.  This is the central theme of all Jesus preached and taught. This message not only offers great hope for all of humanity, but also encompasses the purpose of human existence—why we are here and where our world is headed.

Jesus came preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God (Mark 1:14).  But what was His message?

The word 'gospel' means good news—focusing on God's gracious promise of eternal salvation to believers.  Along with that promise is a wonderful opportunity to participate in a literal Kingdom under the rule of (King) Jesus Christ, Who will return to bring world peace for all.

The Church's overall mission extends well beyond its initial responsibility of preaching the gospel and making new disciples. Jesus Himself "gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare followers of Christ for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:11-13).

The Church is commissioned not only to feed His sheep, as He commanded, but to prepare these followers for greater works of service to God, their families, their communities and their fellow man. Jesus placed great emphasis on serving others.

For these reasons the United Church of God strives to establish congregations around the world where people can assemble and receive guidance in godly living and service. Our congregations are served by ordained pastors trained to accurately teach and explain the Scriptures and to counsel those who request personal guidance. Pastors are often assisted by other dedicated men and women in helping congregations reach their full potential in serving others—as opportunity, need and resources permit.

We desire to share God's way of life with those who earnestly seek to worship and follow our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Our ministers are available to counsel, answer questions and explain the Bible. If you would like to contact a minister or visit one of our congregations, please give call our toll free number, 1800 356 202. If you prefer to contact a local minister directly, please refer to the list of congregations for their contact details.

Please feel free to write to or e-mail us with any questions you might have.

The Bible repeatedly emphasises that God's servants are to be wise stewards and managers over the resources He provides. They are to recognise that those resources—financial, physical and human alike—actually belong to Him rather than any individual or organisation.
