Nestled in the heart of Bellville, the NG Kerk La Rochelle has a story to tell. The church stands at the corner of Meerlust and Hadley Streets. It’s a relatively young congregation in the tapestry of Cape Town’s history, established on October 11, 1974. Imagine the excitement and anticipation of the founding members as they laid the groundwork for this spiritual home. The NG Kerk La Rochelle falls under the Ring of Bellville, a regional church body within the larger Synod of Western Cape. The church’s location is easily remembered, at the intersection of Meerlust and Hadley Streets in Bellair, Bellville. Over the years, the NG Kerk La Rochelle has been guided by several dedicated pastors. Reverend W.A. Venter, D.W. Olivier, and A.S. de Kock-Malan have all served this community, nurturing its spiritual growth. The 10:00 Sunday service is held at the Old Oak Centre on Meerlust Street. The morning service is conducted in Afrikaans. There is also an Afrikaans evening service on Sundays. The church is a vibrant part of the community, offering a place of worship and connection for its members.
