city centre churches forum

We see whole, restored and empowered communities

where people flourish in God’s presence

The City Centre Churches Forum was created in 1992 as a platform for Christian Churches and ministry organisations in the inner city of Pretoria, to share common concerns and visions. It gave birth to a number of important initiatives, and remains a crucial and strategically important church forum in the City of Tshwane.
