Celebrating Diversity in Worship

Unity and Heritage: A Century of Faith at Dundee Lutheran Congregation

Parish Pastor
Uelzen, kzn
Born near Piet Retief, switched from engineering to theology, studied in Germany and the USA, and serves as pastor in Salem Uelzen since 2018.

Situated approximately 15 km North-West of Dundee, KwaZulu-Natal, this rural Lutheran Congregation today comprises of a German and an English component, jointly electing to remain as a single Congregation, sharing one Pastor and the available facilities: one church and one hall. Scheduled at different times or (once a month) in combination, weekly Divine Services welcome and accommodate both language groups in praising our Lord and Heavenly Father.

With a history of well over a hundred years, this congregation has been a blessing and place of worship for generations through colonial conflicts and numerous agricultural hardships due to extreme and diverse weather conditions. Yet the congregation was and is still richly blessed by the grace of God.
