Our Story
Edge Church began in 1975, when a few families came together with a vision to influence their community. Eight years later, they sacrificially gave towards the opening of their first building.
From the beginning, Edge Church has been a story of faith, sacrifice and obedience. Shortly after opening the building, the leadership took a bold step of faith by sending a young couple, Pedro and Barbie Erasmus, into the mission field in North-East Namibia. In 1993, Pedro and Barbie, now with their three children, were called back to South Africa to serve at what was then Edgemead Assembly of God.
As the church grew, God continued to challenge the leadership to look beyond themselves and make room for more people to encounter Him. This vision was shaped by Isaiah 54:2–3:
“Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your home, and spare no expense!”
In September 2020, Daniel Erasmus was inducted and ordained as Lead Pastor of Edge Church. Since then, we’ve continued to grow in our love for God and people, taking steps of faith into all that God has called us to.
Today, Edge Church is a vibrant, life-giving, multi-site church based in the Northern suburbs of Cape Town, where people from all walks of life are welcomed into a warm, multi-generational community centred on Jesus.
We are one church in multiple locations, with one vision, one mission, one message, one culture, one leadership and one heart. Each campus is Edge Church in a different location, united by our mission to LOVE GOD. LOVE PEOPLE. CHANGE THE WORLD.
And the story continues. We believe God is building something in us so He can build through us, making room for more people to know Jesus and find their place in His story.

We believe in equipping young adults to live out their faith and make an impact wherever God has placed them.
When Edge Church was formed in the late 1970’s, there was a heart for the kids and youth of the community, people far from God and for missions. If anything, this heart for others has grown and grown over the years. We have the privilege of partnering with 4 reach partners serving people far from God! At Edge Church, we will always be on a mission to reach people far from God.
God moves powerfully through your prayers. Why not pray with us for each of our missionary/outreach partners – God can do more than all we can ask for or imagine!
“And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere – in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 NLT
