THE STORY OF CHRISTIAN FAITH FELLOWSHIP
We are a family church based in the Germiston / Alberton area.
We were established almost 40 years ago by Pastors Mike and Pat McClure who then handed over the church to Pastors Manuel and Lorraine Ribeiro in 2003. Excitingly we have entered into another new era of leadership in which Pastors Ricky and Rhonda Ribeiro aim to continue and take our church to new heights and journey with you in the process.
We are a family-based church and purposely behave in a manner that says: “Our home is always your home, and our doors are wide open to receive you”. We take care of the whole family and cater for both our Men’s Ministry and Women’s Ministry. Our vibrant and very energetic Children’s Ministry as well an exciting Youth ministry provide for those young at heart.
At CFF, we strive to be a place where families can come, be real people and be part of the greater “Jesus Focussed” community which we are building.

OUR BELIEFS
Just as king Josiah (2 chronicles 34 1:13) had received the signet ring and instruction to rebuild the temple. This too is our purpose to walk alongside you as you build a firm foundation and allow for the Lord to come into your heart. When this happens our bodies become the temple of the Lord and he dwells within each of us. This BUILD process sometimes includes the tearing down of old things to make way for new things. As we see in the story of Josiah he cleansed and rebuilt the temple from the ground up.
Once Josiah Built the temple Ezra brought back practices that reestablished true worship and relationship with the most high God (Nehemiah 8:1-18). So too is our journey towards a deeper relationship with Christ. We seek to also draw you into a deeper time of prayer and a more conscious understanding of the word of God. Establish true worship and relationship with God.
Just as Nehemiah did when rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem there was evidence of doing it as a group always building in two (Nehemiah 2 -8) ? As Jesus on earth journeyed and lived with His disciples, so too are we called to partner with each other to draw nearer to Jesus and help those around us. As we partner with each other we can positively impact the community we live by bringing much needed change. We draw people in and walk with them till they are built and established. We partner each other into a deeper relationship with God.
