Where Did It All Start? Thandaza Covenant Church was established in July 1994 by Terry & Sandy Kreuger, a couple from Glenridge Church International in Durban. In October 1999, they handed over the leadership of the church to Alex & Michelle van Laren who led the church until June 2008 before handing it over to Mark & Cindy Neumann, who currently lead the church. Thandaza Covenant Church is not independent nor are we denominational. We are a local autonomous (self-governing) church accountable to, and in relationship with, a translocal apostolic team. This team, consisting of over 200 men and women, is called New Covenant Ministries International (NCMI) and is led by Tyrone Daniel. We invite the NCMI team's wisdom and perspective on various issues and choose to walk in close friendship and accountability with them. The team is currently working with both established and new churches in over 70 countries. Thandaza Covenant Church is in partnership with, and is linked by mutual vision and values, to thousands of relating churches worldwide.
