About Siloam


WELCOME TO SILOAM MINISTRIES, where the whole family can worship Jesus Christ together. We believe in the teachings of the Holy Bible and the Holy Trinity of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Siloam Ministries is an archetypical family church where we celebrate the "one new man in Christ". The ministry truly epitomizes the rainbow nation of South Africa, as people of all colour and creed gather to worship as one body, in one spirit and one faith (Ephesians 4 V 4&5). 

The church was established in 1992, when it started its first service in the backyard of one of its members. We have since grown from strength to strength by the Grace of our God.

All of this comes together under the steadfast leadership of Bishop David A & Neela Lazarus, the founders and Senior Pastors of the ministry.


TOGETHER THE BISHOP AND OUR FIRST LADY HAVE SERVED IN MINISTRY FOR OVER 30 YEARS


Together they are the visionaries of a ministry that has crossed borders and transformed lives through the preaching and teaching of the Word of God. They are affectionately known as "mom" and "dad" to their countless number of spiritual children here and abroad. Their propensity to serve the flock and minister in humility has seen scores of people be escalated from mediocrity to excellence and can account for many that walk in their life purpose.
 

As students of the Word, Bishop Lazarus and the First Lady have pursued Biblical studies through various institutions and the Bishop is also the recipient of and Honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Seoul Theological Seminary. He was elevated to the office of Bishop in 2007 by the Presiding Prelate of the United Covenant Churches of Christ International – Bishop Larry D Trotter.

 


 

THE VISION



CONNECT TO GOD.
CONNECT TO MINISTRY. CONNECT TO THE WORLD.

This has been a strong call from the heart of the Bishop to partners and members of the ministry. It has galvanised the congregation in the pursuit for ministerial and personal effectiveness and thus created an impregnable drive and attitude towards excellence in all spheres of life. It means that we have a personal relationship with God, become practically involved in the work of the ministry and are relevant to the world we live in, even though we are not of this world.

The main emphasise of Siloam Ministries is building the lives of people – God will build His church.
