GKSA worshipers in Otjiwarongo, in then South West Africa, were served until 1954 as a district of the Outjo Reformed Church, established in 1930 along with the Gobabis and Outjo Reformed Churches as a result of the repatriation of 1,922 Afrikaners, survivors and descendants of those who made the Dorsland Trek from Angola and were mainly GKSA members.
On March 19, 1955, Otjiwarongo was separated from Outjo in a partnership agreement with those in Grootfontein (where the pastor preached 11 Sundays a year), Usakos, and Walvis Bay (11 days a year in the latter two, along with 22 Sundays in Otjiwarongo proper).
Van der Walt took a post in the Krugersdorp-West Reformed Church, a new pastor arrived to take office in March 1959.
du Plessis subsequently began conducting services on February 26, 1966, in combination with Grootfontein.
Venter left for a post in 1976 at the Vryheid Reformed Church, as many as 10 filled the job, but a long-term successor was not forthcoming.
Putter of Outjo worked as a consultant and helped hire the church's 17th pastor, the Rev.
