The Johannesburg Reformed Church (GKSA) was the second congregation of the Reformed Churches in Southern Africa (GKSA) on the Witwatersrand after the Krugersdorp Reformed Church (GKSA), founded only a month earlier.

On April 1, 1943, the congregation merged with the Johannesburg West Reformed Church (GKSA) (founded on December 13, 1930) and took on the latter's name. On October 22, 1950, Johannesburg West re-seceded and the main Johannesburg congregation was restored, and in 1952 it was renamed to Johannesburg-Mayfair. In 1986, Johannesburg-Mayfair, the Johannesburg East Reformed Church (GKSA) (founded February 29, 1924), and the Johannesburg Central Reformed Church all merged under the Johannesburg Reformed Church (restored) banner, but most of the suburbs that had been part of Johannesburg-Melville stayed in Johannesburg West. In 1997, Johannesburg-Melville was reformed from a merger of Johannesburg (restored) and the Johannesburg North Reformed Church (GKSA) (founded on March 1, 1924). In 1998, Johannesburg West and the Delarey Reformed Church merged as the Bergbron Reformed Church. Finally, Johannesburg-Melville was absorbed by the Randburg Reformed Church (GKSA) in 2002, joined by the Randburg East Reformed Church the following year.
