Ned Geref Kerk Pearston/DRC Pearston GODSGEMEENTE IN DIE SLOT VAN DIE KAROO OP DIE KAMDEBOOVLAKTE The services were held and Communion celebrated by the minister of the parish of Somerset East.

Like many towns in the Eastern Cape, the church played a pivotal role in the establishment of the town. Since 1850 church services were held in the open under a large pear tree on the farm Rustenburg, then the property of Mr Casper Lötter. On 11 September 1858 the following notice was published in the Kerkbode, the official publication of the Dutch Reformed Church: " Men is voornemens aan de Vogel

rivier, halfweg tuschen Graaff-Reinett en Somerset een dorpen the stichten, waaraan reeds the naam Pearston is gegeven. Die verkopen van erven ten behoewe van de kerk, heeft ongeveer £10,000 sterling opgebracht, waaruit na betaling van den koopschat van der plaats, man in staat sal zyn ene kerk en pastorie te bouwen." Ons gemeente bestaan tans uit ongeveer 130 Belydende en Doop lidmate wat in baie moeilike omtandighede en teen alle struikelblokke in nog as Familie *van Christus" die pragtige kerk in Pearston - die monument van Pearston - oophou.
