In the entire NG Church it was the 34th foundation, all of which except Pietermaritzburg (1839) and Potchefstroom (1842) were located in the single Cape Colony. In 2016, the congregation had 510 professing and 135 baptized members. Of the professing members, only 200 were under 50, while 140 of the 510 lived locally.[3] On August 17, 2020, the church was damaged by a fire.[4]
