In 1984, Pastors Neville and Wendy McDonald established Good Hope Christian Centre under the Apostolic direction of Dr. Fred Roberts. From its humble beginnings meeting under a bridge, this lively Church has expanded from a mere thirty members to a thriving community of over 15,000 individuals who now consider GHCC their spiritual home. Today, the Church conducts services in various locations within the City of Cape Town and has extended its reach to establish churches in various corners of the globe. This dynamic and contemporary congregation has left a profound impact on the city, shaping it in exciting and transformative ways. 

 

GHCC is a community who gives hope and heals people.  We exist to bring the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to individuals, touching hearts and minds with the power of a very real God.  We gather to encounter God’s presence, experience His glory and be empowered to reach the lost at any cost.
