The Cape Peninsula Reformed Church (CPRC) is an English-speaking congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) in South Africa. Often people refer to us by the our initials - "CPRC".

Some of our members are from a DRC background but many are not. Some had no church background at all when they became members of Cape Peninsula Reformed Church. Although we come from different cultural and racial backgrounds, we in CPRC believe that we are one in Christ. In our congregation we have learned to cherish and cultivate this unity.

Because we are the only English-speaking congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church in Cape Town, many of our members stay with us, even when they move around in the Peninsula. One result of this is that one gets to know the other people in the church. The close-knit and warm fellowship of the congregation is one of its strengths.

One the other hand, we realize that one of our weaknesses have been that we have not made it clear to outsiders that they are welcome to join us in worshipping God. We have made a decision to do all that we can to rectify that. One of the ways in which we would like to explain to outsiders why be follow Jesus, is our 2000 - Whose birthday? outreach - a series of 10 Sunday evening services focussing on the question: Who was this Jew from Nazareth whose 2000th birthday every one is going crazy over?

We believe in the past few months in 1999 we have grown in this area. Please visit us and see for yourself.

If you have no church home, we invite you to join us in being a part of the body of Christ in Cape Town.

We would like to be known as "the church who cares".
