New Hope Church gathered together
The Next · Century City, Cape Town

Sundays · 10 AM

You belong here,
before you believe.

A new church on the west side of Cape Town. Come as you are — coffee's on us.

Plan your visit

First time? Here’s what to expect.

We know walking into a new place can feel intimidating. That’s why we’ve made it easy. From the moment you arrive, someone will greet you, help you find a seat, and answer any questions you have.

Our services last about 75 minutes and include worship, a message from the Bible, and time to connect. There’s no pressure to participate — just come as you are.

Plan Your Visit

Arrive 15 minutes early

This gives you time to park, grab a coffee, and find a comfortable seat before the service begins.

Casual dress code

Come as you are — jeans, shorts, or your Sunday best. All are welcome.

Kids are welcome

We have age-appropriate programmes for children so you can enjoy the service worry-free.

Preacher Ronald Slamet speaking at New Hope Church
“We believe church should be the safest place to ask hard questions, doubt out loud, and discover what God is really like.”

Our hope is that every person who walks through our doors feels seen, valued, and loved — not judged.

We’re a community that takes the Bible seriously and grace even more seriously.

— Pastor Ronald Slamet

What we believe

Three things hold us together.

The Gospel

The good news is that God has made a way for every person to be in relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. It’s not about what we do — it’s about what He’s already done.

The Bible

We believe the Bible is God’s Word and the ultimate authority for how we live. It’s not just a book of rules — it’s a story of redemption that speaks into every area of our lives.

The Spirit

God’s Spirit lives in every believer, guiding, empowering, and transforming us from the inside out. We rely on Him for wisdom, strength, and direction every day.

New Hope Church pastors

Our Pastors

“We’re not building a church.
We’re building a family.”

Our pastors take turns each Sunday, bringing their own voices and experiences to the pulpit. What they share is a love for God’s word and a genuine heart for people.

Whether you’ve been following Jesus for decades or you’re just curious, there’s a place for you here. We can’t wait to meet you.
