Our Story

“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

(2 Corinthians 3:18, NKJV)

Where we come from has shaped where we are going…

In February 2008 Pastors Norman and Gerda Clack heeded the call to plant a church that preached to love of God to the world. We started in a small marionette theatre in Westcliff made available by Pastor Gerda’s parents. At that stage our name was “Cedarhill Christian Church”. As we outgrew that first venue we moved to the Orban School hall in Meldene, but the pull to the West Rand remained since most of our members came from here. That resulted in our move to the Platinum Ballroom at Silverstar where we gathered for the following eight and a half years. During this time, our name changed to “Rhema West” as we aligned more visibly with our spiritual covering – the Rhema Family of Churches. During this season we relished in an ever enlarging revelation of the grace that is available through the Good News about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

When we were ready to have space to call our own, the Lord provided a location on Voortrekker Road in Krugersdorp. Just before COVID-19 and the resulting hard lockdown, we embraced yet a larger space in Ruimsig. Unfortunately both the Voortrekker and Ruimsig properties were lost in the fallout following the pandemic. We are grateful that we could continue to meet in the larger space during all the times that attendance numbers were restricted.

Like many things, our church experienced a rebirth during the pandemic and our name was finally changed to “Unveiled Church” because we want to see Jesus Christ unveiled in every heart and home. The Lord provided a location in Oatlands where we could recuperate spiritually and rebuild the congregation after the losses we had gone through. Our pastors enthusiastically look ahead to what the Lord has in store for us in future.

Our passion remains to bring the lost to Jesus Christ and cheer on the believers as they grow spiritually in a relationship with Him.
