GRACE GENERATION
Churches in Pietermaritzburg

Our vision is to gather a bride for Jesus from all nations, thereby glorifying God. Grace Generation Church is to be a multicultural community of Word and Spirit in Pietermaritzburg, reconciling a generation to the Father through the gospel of grace. Since 1993, Grace Generation Church (initially called Pietermaritzburg Christian Fellowship) has grown into a multi-cultural resource base called by God to impact this current generation with the Word of God, the doctrines of grace and the presence of God. Grace Generation Church is a multi-cultural community of Word and Spirit in Pietermaritzburg, reaching our generation with the gospel of grace. We are in gospel partnership with the Advance movement of churches. In 1992, along with a number of co-founding churches in Pietermaritzburg, we helped to establish Project Gateway as a means of meeting the needs of the poor and empowering the disadvantaged in a new South African epoch. After fifteen years Pietermaritzburg Christian Fellowship handed over the leadership of Project Gateway to an indigenous leadership team. This enabled us to enter a new season as a local church base for growth, expanding HIV and AIDS work in Pietermaritzburg and beyond, the training of leaders, church planting and the establishment of our training School (Africa Leadership School), which offers theological and practical church-based training and leadership formation. The importance of God’s presence and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The local Church as a loving community of God’s presence, and the Church meeting from house to house. Members equipped for ministry in the Church and in the world as salt and light. Advance emerged out of the Newfrontiers family of churches lead by Terry Virgo. Jesus as a master storyteller uses real-life stories from first century Palestine to proclaim the coming of God's Revolution and the dramatic change it brings to our lives in areas such as forgiveness, handling anger, loving my neighbour and preparing for his final dramatic return. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. As we draw to an end of this Saving Lives series, we need to continue groing in our mission to reach the city with the gospel, especially Scottsville and the students around us, and see folks saved.
