African Native Mission Church 1892

Founded by Rev Jonas Goduka.

The African Native Church or African Native Mission Church (ANMC 1892) was founded on 14 January 1892 at Hillside, Sterkspruit in the Colony of Good Hope (Eastern Cape Province). It was founded in a “Cave” at Hillside, in the Herschel District, Sterkspruit. The inception of African Native Mission Church came out of burning desire of Rev Jonas Goduka and others to restore dignity of all native people, and serve God in their own way than being subjected to discriminative treatment of other churches and more over he believed that primitive baptism was by immersion than sprinkling which was practiced by other churches.
