Our Story
About
We are part of the Every Nation global family of churches and ministries that exist in 84 nations.​​ ​
Every Nation exists to Honour God by establishing Christ centered, Spirit empowered, socially responsible churches and Campus Ministries in every nation.
​
Every Nation Church Hermanus, was planted in 2010 by Herman and Colette who were sent from our Every Nation church in Somerset-West. Their desire has always been for people to walk in a living relationship with Jesus in everything, and help others to do the same.
​
In August 2025 Herman & Colette handed over the leadership to Jacques & Jenny who are passionate about Jesus & people and have more than 3 decades of ministry experience with Every Nation.
Jacques & Jenny met as students, while serving at our U.C.T. campus ministry. They have pioneered, planted & pastored Every Nation Churches in the Eastern Cape, Cape Town and KZN. They have 4 children and recently moved to Hermanus to lead this growing, vibrant church.

OUR EVERY NATION CORE VALUES
LORDSHIP
Because Jesus is “King of kings and Lord of lords,” we believe that whole-hearted submission to God’s will and his Word is the starting point of the Christian faith and the foundation of all spiritual growth.
COLOSSIANS 2:6
EVANGELISM
Because God’s heart is to reach the lost, we’re passionate about preaching the gospel and doing ministry in a way that engages people outside of the Christian faith. We seek to build churches primarily through evangelism, not transfer growth.
JOHN 3:16, LUKE 19:10
DISCIPLESHIP
Because we’re called to make disciples, our primary focus is establishing biblical foundations, equipping believers to minister, and empowering disciples to make disciples—not conducting meetings, facilitating programs, or building buildings.
MATTHEW 28:19,20
LEADERSHIP
Because we’re called to establish churches and campus ministries in every nation, we’re committed to a culture of empowering leadership. We’re intentionally multi-generational, and we deliberately create opportunities and platforms to develop the next generation of leaders.
II TIMOTHY 2:2
FAMILY
Because the family is the foundation and validation of ministry, we refuse to sacrifice our marriages and our children on the altars of temporal success. And because we believe God has called us to be a spiritual family, we embrace community, reject the idea of disposable relationships, and choose to walk in love, respect, and unity.
PSALM 127:1,3
