OUR STORY

His People is an Every Nation Church in the heart of KZN, South Africa.

 

We are passionate about Him (Jesus) & People. This statement captures the heart of
His People. Jesus defined The Greatest Commandment as: "Love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your
strength." [Mark 12:30] - passionate about HIM! Jesus also gave us The Great
Commission: "go and make disciples of all nations (peoples)" [Matt 28:20] - a
passion to help people follow Jesus.


His People Church was started in Pietermaritzburg, in 2005, by Pastor Jacques and
Jenny Oberholzer and a team of church planters, sent from His People Church in Cape Town. They came with a vision to plant a strong local church, with one foot in the Community of Pietermaritzburg and one foot on the University Campus (UKZN). 

 

They started Sunday church services in Pastor Jacques and Jenny's home but soon were needing to find a bigger venue. In 2006 a door opened for them to move to Ridge J.P. School Hall, right next to the University Campus of UKZN.

 

The Lord spoke to them about their own church building and miraculously provided their building in 2017, at 154 Birkett Road, Scottsville, Pietermaritzburg.

 

The LORD is faithful!

About Ps Jacques & Jenny​

They joined His People shortly after it started in 1988, when they were still students at the University of Cape Town. They both felt a strong call of God into full time ministry.
After graduating they got married and moved to Port Elizabeth, where they helped to start His People Church and launched the Bible School, while working in their vocations.
In 2001 they moved back to Cape Town for a season of further ministry training before being ordained as pastors and joining the ministry. 
The Lord called them to plant His People Church in Pietermaritzburg in 2005.​
They have 3 daughters, a son and  2
sons-in-grace.
