Moederkerk, George 2.64

The Moederkerk, is a place of worship of the Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk in George. The church is built in 1842. The cornerstone for the church was laid on 14 April 1832. Slaves were used for some of the building work like the digging of the six-foot deep by five-foot wide foundations. Due to financial problems it took 12 years to complete the church and it was consecrated on 9 October 1842. Although a historical building, the church is still active and sermons are held every Sunday.List of ministers Tobias Johannes Herold, 1823 - 1831 Johan Stephen Simeon Ballot, 1831 - 1862 Arnoldus Gerhard Mart Kuys, 1863 - 1877 Christoffel Frederic Jacobus Muller, 1877 - 1887 Zacharias Johannes de Beer, 1887 - 1895 David Jacob Johannes Rossouw, 1896 - 1912 Pieter Truter Stroebel, 1902 - 1904 Jan Andries Beyer, 1912 - 1923 Johannes Albertus Hurter, 1921 - 1936 Philip Petrus van der Merwe, 1925 - 1928 Gabriël Jacobus Lötter, 1931 - 1947 Jan Stephanus Klopper, 1937 - 1948 Daniel Francois du Toit, 1943 - 1947, 1951 - 1967 Johan George Lochner, 1947 - 1950 Heinrich Franz Heyman, 1947 - 1951 Carl Wilhelm Irene Pistorius, 1948 - 1953 Andries Gustav Stephanus Gouws, 1953 - 1958 Jacobus Stephanus Marais, 1967 - 1970 Bernard Christiaan Lategan, 1968 - 1969 Johannes Gerhard Moolman, 1974 - 1983 J.A. van de Merwe. 1978 – 2006 M. van Rooijen. 1988 – 1998 W.
