Go and make disciples.

The Koelas lead a multicultural church full of the Bible, love, and hospitality that aims to reach those who have given up on faith and God.

Ubukho Bakhe strives to be ignited as a Church planting church that will reach Cape Town, South Africa and beyond with the holistic gospel of Christ that seeks to change people spiritually, socially and culturally. 

Ubukho Bakhe also offers rich programming that encourages conversation between scripture, culture, and the history of the region.

Wesley and Nicole Marshall lead a rapidly growing church that is composed of a wide variety of diverse individuals across the socio-economic spectrum. Hope City Presbyterian seeks to be a church that reflects the cultural diversity of the region. In addition to a growing congregation Hope City Presbyterian celebrates a growing youth and children’s ministry as well.

Hope City Presbyterian has recently completed its tenure as a Church Plant. We celebrate the ordination of Ps. Wesley Marshall to lead this congregation. 

We are a church reflective of our neighbourhood, embracing the Gospel, embracing each other, and embracing our city.

We serve the eastern neighbourhoods of Cape Town's downtown area (Woodstock, Observatory and Salt River). We are a new church plant that launched in May 2021. These neighbourhoods need more churches that are faithful in proclaiming the Gospel by which people are justified by faith alone, because of God's grace alone, through Christ's work alone, revealed through God's work alone and for His glory alone. As an extension of the city, this Gospel answers many of the questions those who live in the city have. We desire to see the Gospel impact individuals, and that in turn issues relating to gentrification, racial segregation, and work ethics get addressed.

Our vision is to plant a gospel-centered, multi-generational, and multicultural community church that seeks to glorify God through the proclamation of the gospel and the advancement of God’s holistic redemptive purposes in the world.

The town in which we hope to plant, Stellenbosch (nicknamed City of Oaks), is a small university town. It is the second oldest town in South Africa, founded in 1679. It's university is the oldest in the country, which contributes to a vibrant cultural and intellectual atmosphere. Its population is 37.8% Coloured, 37% Black African, 23.3% White, and 1.4% Other Groups. And yet, despite its diversity, the legacy of Apartheid, the prevailing reality of inequality, and spiritual need (hopelessness, Christian nominalism, ancestral worship, and prosperity gospel) continue to plague and fracture its community. 

It's my conviction that a Church (Plant)/Christian community in any location, in our broken and fractured world, that seeks to be gospel-centered, must also pursue God's redemptive purposes which touches on areas beyond the soul (reconciliation with God). Including, the "renewal of all things in the city for the world". This is exactly what we're about at Oak Valley Presbyterian Church. The clear and unapologetic declaration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the renewing of all things in our city.

The vision for Christ Church Strand Is to be the light in the community where the Lord has placed us. A community where hunger and high unemployment are the reality. The projects we are running—skills development and feeding—are aimed at addressing these issues. We also want to plant more churches.

We do feeding every Thursday. Some of the people who come are people who live on the streets. 90% of the people who attend our projects are non-christians. We are also planting a church in a farm area near stellenbosch.

The mission of Young Life is to "introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and help them grow in their faith". I will be on staff in the Durham/Chapel Hill area where we currently have active ministries at 10 high schools and 7 middle schools. The majority of our leaders are Duke and UNC college student volunteers, who I will help equip and train to go into local high school & middle schools, cultivate relationships, and share about how dearly loved the adolescents are by Jesus.

We also host YoungLives, which is Young Life for teen moms, a population that often falls between the cracks of ministry. There is a deep need in Durham for a ministry like YoungLives.

Our mission is to come alongside adolescent parents and provide them with peer relationships, mentoring, resources, and a chance to still be a kid. We see these young moms as the women and mothers God designed them to be, and humbly pray we can display the unconditional love of Jesus in hopes of making generational change in their lives and communities.

Young Life equips/empowers adolescents through discipleship. We read, digest, and make sense of the Word and help adolescents see how their story is found within the pages of the greatest Love Story ever told.

Triangle Fellows believes that the Gospel changes everything.  We envision a Durham/Chapel Hill where everyone is thriving.  Our mission is to connect and cultivate Christian leaders to spend their lives for the good of the community.

Most of us spend 40% of our day and 90,000+ hours of our lives at work. As image bearers, we’re designed for good work that cultivates creation as well as loves our neighbors. Many days, however, we struggle with meaning/purpose and the “thorns” in the workplace. Our hearts wonder, “Does work matter?” We struggle to connect our faith and our work. We struggle to connect our Sunday to our Monday.

Triangle Fellows believes that the Gospel changes everything, including our work. We believe that our work participates in God’s mission and story of renewing all things. We envision a Durham and Chapel Hill where everyone is thriving. Our mission is to connect and cultivate Christian leaders to spend their lives for the good of the community. 

Triangle Fellows leads a local chapter of the Gotham Fellowship, a 9-month, immersive discipleship program from Tim Keller’s church in NYC. The fellowship facilitates renewal in our hearts, community, and world through elements of spiritual/personal development, theological training, community formation, and city/cultural engagement. We find that our work does matter. The fellowship extends from September to May.

Young Life Latin America & Caribbean exists to introduce teenagers to Christ and help them grow in their faith. Our ministry exists in and serves 24 countries, and we have 2,188 volunteer leaders who spend time with teenagers and bring Christ to them. YL LAC not only impacts communities spiritually, but also socially/culturally/economically, as we provide employment and leadership opportunities for our leaders.

Our ministry pursues spiritual renewal, social renewal, and cultural renewal as seen similarly by Christ Central. YL LAC believes a relationship with Christ is central and integral to our purpose and mission, and an overflow of that comes the social and cultural renewal that our developing countries desire. The fruit of our ministry is a glimpse into the redemption of Christ both in Durham and across Central America, South America, & the Caribbean.

Though we welcome expats, we highly value Latino and Haitian-raised leaders. An important aspect of our ministry is to minister and serve those who are local to their neighborhoods, because these are the teens who will be influential pillars of their communities in years to come. Our ministry meets teens exactly where they are—in the barrio (neighborhood)—leaders coming alongside teenagers and showing them the radical love of Jesus through relational and consistent ministry (including outreach events and bible studies).

RUF at UNC exists to provide a friendly, Christ-Centered community where the tired, the skeptical, and the committed can come together to investigate and experience the person and work of Jesus Christ. The past few years saw a massive disruption of daily life—civil unrest, a global pandemic, and a sharp spike in mental health issues have upset the cultural story that many have told themselves. That if they are smart, work hard, and live a moral life then things will inevitably turn out well for them.

Nowhere has this story proven more untrue than at UNC, where issues of meaning and purpose have been cast in stark relief by student experiences of quarantine and the general malaise of an anxious society. As they have wrestled with this experience, many students have longed for someone to come alongside of them to help make sense of their lives and provide a better story than the one they have been living in.

Herein lies the need for a Reformed campus ministry where a trained and ordained pastor directs and applies the story of God’s grace to the lives of busy students. Enmeshed within the opportunities and challenges of UNC, a community centered upon Christ offers young adults the chance to ask big questions of faith, be loved in their imperfections, and be equipped to lead lives founded upon and empowered by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In this way, RUF is an instrument to reach, heal, and equip a generation of college students that have walked through a tumultuous period of our Nation’s life. In so doing, not only are we building up God’s Kingdom today, but we are forming resilient disciples who will follow Christ and serve him for many years to come. Where the need is so large, so is the opportunity to assist. Join us in helping UNC to discover the truth, beauty, and goodness of Jesus Christ!
