Leonard Reformed Church

The Leonardville Reformed Church (originally named Leonard) is a congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa (NGK) in the town of Leonardville, Namibia.

Members agreed that it had to be named after the memorable pioneer of the NGK in SWA, the Rev.

They had to adapt to difficult circumstances upon arrival, living for a year in the consistory of the church hall in Pretorius.

This spread it quite thin, leading to the secession of the Aroab Reformed Church in 1955.

There was initially no official capital, and in 1952, there were four essentially independent districts, including Uhlenhorst with 140 members, Blumfeld with around 140, Aroab with around 360, and Pretorius with around 320.
