Brits Church turns 75 years
After checking the archives in Pretoria last year Jannie discovered that the first time services were held by Methodists in Brits was 75 years ago. Ministers came from Pretoria to preach and this congregation group grew over the years. They met in various places until eventually purchasing a house in Kerk St.
It was dedicated in 1983.
After lots of prayer and hard work, this was renovated in 2003 into the beautiful sanctuary of today.
Then in 2006 the first resident minister was appointed - the Rev Jannie Hofmeyr and his wife Angela. He had a mandate to build up this congregation in order to plant another congregation at Harties. The new congregation - an offshoot of the Brits congregation began in November 2007.
Praise to God for His faithfulness and well done to all the members for vision, prayers and hard work.
