Our Story.
"God has been faithful, and we believe the best is still ahead."
Hope Church was planted on 1 March 2020 — a moment in history none of us will ever forget. Just weeks after launching, the world shut down as the COVID19 pandemic swept across the globe. While many churches were forced to close their doors, we sensed God leading us to adapt, innovate, and keep bringing hope to people in any way we could.
​
Out of that season, DriveThru Church was born. Families sat in their cars, tuned in, and heard the Word of God preached while safely distanced. It was unusual, creative, and unexpected — but God used it. Week after week, people gathered, and the gospel continued to be proclaimed. What the enemy meant for disruption, God turned into a doorway for connection, salvation, and community.
​
By God’s grace, we not only survived those early challenges — we began to thrive. Hope Church grew into a vibrant, joyful community committed to loving God, loving people, and loving Durban.
Our Desire.
"seek the peace and prosperity of the city where I have sent you.”.”
