The Dutch Reformed Church in Bredasdorp is the 23rd existing congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church. [1] Along the coast between Cape Town and George it is the third oldest parish, after Swellendam (1798) and Caledon (1811), and only about a month older than Riversdale, which was founded in April 1839. [2]
The NG Mission Church was formed in the late 1800s, though only white members were allowed to attend. [3] The Associate Reformed Church was established at the same location in 1914. [4] The two churches remained separate until 20 May 2018. [5]
