This article is about the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa (Cape Church). Not to be confused with Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa.
The St. Martini Lutheran Church in Cape Town.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa (Cape Church) is a Lutheran church in some of the Western Provinces of South Africa. The Cape Church is a member of the Lutheran World Federation. It has 4,223 baptized members.[1]

History[edit]

By 1741, 509 Lutherans were living in Cape Town and in 1742 petitions were sent to the Dutch East India Company to allow a Lutheran church to be built.[2] The Dutch East India Company initially refused but finally relented and gave permission for a church on 23 October 1779. The church at its inception had 441 founding parishioners.[3]

Early Pastors[edit]

This list is incomplete. The years of service, where known, are indicated in brackets.
