A living church being
planted in Daveyton.
New Life Tabernacle is a new church plant in Daveyton, Ekurhuleni, dedicated to seeing lives transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ — through discipleship, biblical literacy, genuine fellowship, and faithful service in the community.
Regeneration. Presence. Community.
Tabernacle
Reflects God dwelling among His people. Not just a building, but a habitual presence of God.
Living Church
A community that is a visible expression of the new life found in Christ — worshipping, loving, and Spirit-filled.
We are building more than attendance. We are trusting God for a living church rooted in truth, fellowship, and faithful witness.
Believing. Becoming. Beaconing.
To be a community believing deeply in the gospel, becoming more like Jesus every day, and beaconing His light to our neighbours through servitude and excellence.
To train and equip people to move from being spectators to active participants in the kingdom of God. We are not just calling people to attend church — we want them to be a living church.
- Deeply embracing the gospel that has given us new life in Christ.
- Reflecting the character and life of Christ in family, work, relationships, and community.
- Shining as lights by spreading the gospel and serving our neighbours with love and excellence.
Every believer equipped, every gift activated, every life impacting the township and beyond.
A culture shaped by truth, warmth, and faithful service.
Biblical teaching
People grounded in sound doctrine, biblical literacy, and Christ-centered discipleship.
Genuine fellowship
A church family where people are known, loved, encouraged, and called into deeper growth.
Servant leadership
Known in the community not as strangers, but as servants — loving Daveyton with practical service.
Prayer & presence
Online prayer gatherings and monthly fellowship shaping the spiritual culture from the ground up.

“I believe God is calling us to plant a church out of a persistent burden for discipleship and biblical literacy in our generation. This calling did not begin with the idea of planting a church, but with faithful obedience — through prayer gatherings, Bible studies, local outreach, apologetics training, and open-air evangelism.” — Sihle Ndumela
