NAC District Six Congregation

Previously known as Zonnebloem congregation....name change effective 04 May 2014 The land on which the church is built was purchased on
the 16th June 1930. H. F.

District Six was formerly known as Zonnebloem and prior to that Virginia Street congregation and was dedicated on 28th March 1931. The church building was constructed by actual members of the congregation and, according to the foundation stone currently present in the church, was inaugurated by the Ap. Schlaphoff. Known as one of the pioneering congregations, it is often referred to as a
‘mother’

congregation having produced many staunch
families and pioneering servants. Their pioneering works
has reached many corners of South Africa. The first Rector was Community Evangelist H. Collins during the late 1930’s. Thereafter Priest Mansfield (senior) took over the rector ministry until his death when he was then succeeded by his son. Pr. Mansfield (Junior) would later serve as a Bishop of the Cape Town Diocese for many years. The following rector was Elder Poggenpoel who served in the congregation until 23rd August 1970. District Six was declared a whites-only area under the
Groups Area Act of 1966. The ‘non-white’ residents were forced to move to designated areas on the outskirts of Cape Town causing the membership of this congregation to fall dramatically. The result of this was that this once thriving congregation’s influence in the work of God was sadly
affected. A positive to be taken from this ghastly experience
was, that numerous congregations developed in other areas as a direct result of the relocation of these members. At this point the New Apostolic Church, along with all other churches in the area, were approached to sell their properties to the Department of Community Development for the purpose of demolition. An agreement was reached on the condition that an alternative site was given in the Walmer Estate area with sufficient compensation to immediately begin building a new church. The matter was initially postponed and ultimately ended with a departmental decision to preserve all churches in the District Six area. Some highlights over the last 80 years have been the many visits by the then District Apostles A Abicht, KR Gut, EH Graf and our current District Apostle NE Barnes all of whom had
a special love for this congregation. District Six had also
celebrated special feasts with their celebrations of its 50th,
60th, 70th, 75th and 80th anniversaries. On the 13th May 2009 District Apostle NE Barnes visited the congregation to conduct a Divine Service. The current membership of District Six Congregation, including children, is 96 and is primarily attended by members who reside in District Six, Walmer Estate and
the lower part of the Eastern Boulevard

Today our congregation gathered for the Service for the Departed, a solemn and hope-filled divine service centred on the bible text from 1 Peter 4:6.

The service was conducted by our Priest Isaac Williams from the Table View Congregation, assisted by Priest Ashton Lang.

Through the preached word, we were reminded of God’s boundless love, His grace, and the living hope we have in Jesus Christ - a hope that reaches beyond this life and embraces both the living and the departed.

“For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.” - 1 Peter 4:6 (NKJV)

YOUNG PEOPLE ECOSYSTEM

On Tuesday 23rd June, our young
people and ministers came together to discuss the Young People Ecosystem. The session focused on how we can work together in Christ, support one another, and live out Dare2Care through compassion, service, and unity.

A key message from the evening was that the church grows stronger when parents guide, ministers lead, and young people serve.

Apostle Worship visits District Six Congregation

On Wednesday, 3 June 2026, the Apostle R Worship served the congregation of District Six in the Table Bay District. He was accompanied by District Rector, CEV Jason Smal, and the Rectors and wives of the district.

The festive service was based on the Bible text from Isaiah 28:16, “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily’.”

The Apostle commenced the divine service with thoughts awoken by the hymn rendered by the choir: HC 324, “Teach us, O Lord, Thy holy will”.

The Rector of Brooklyn Congregation, PR D Jacobs, was called to serve alongside the Apostle.

Prior to the celebration of Holy Communion, three souls received the gift of the Holy Spirit

At the conclusion of the service, the Apostle invited the whole congregation to join the choir and organ with a powerful rendition of HC 154, “In God is our trust.” Thereafter, the Apostle greeted the congregation.

Three brothers were adopted into the New Apostolic Church. We thank God for His grace and wish them well in their preparation for the sacrament of Holy Sealing.
