About Us

"Go and make disciples of all nations..."

Matthew 28:19

Hope Church Auckland Park is a Christ-centred, Bible-believing church in the heart of Auckland Park. We are a vibrant and diverse community of people of every age, stage and race on a mission together to know Christ and make him known.

We love meeting new people and are passionate about growing together as disciples of Christ, so do come and join us on a Sunday at 10am or 6pm whether you are at school, varsity, working, at home or have retired.

We want to be a church that by knowing Jesus more deeply as our Saviour and Lord becomes a church that follows him more wholeheartedly as disciples who are pure in heart, proclaiming Christ, persevering despite rejection and showing compassion, in all of this dependent on our Father through prayer, who is at work through His Spirit to bring us to know the love of Christ in our hearts and to set our thoughts on the return of Christ in glory.

  • PURE IN HEART

    wanting to serve his kingdom and not our own

  • PROCLAIMING CHRIST

    wanting to speak of his glory and not ours

  • PERSEVERING DESPITE REJECTION

    wanting future glory and not present

  • SHOWING COMPASSION

    wanting to serve one another and save others

Our Team

James Buchanan
Senior Pastor
James is the senior minister at Hope Church Auckland Park by God’s grace and amazing sovereignty.  He was trained at St. Helen’s in London, served as a student worker in Durban, studied for his MTh at Oak Hill College, London and was curate at Trinity Church Islington before coming to Johannesburg. He is married to Lucy and has four kids.
Madhush Mathews
Associate Pastor
Madhush first grasped the gospel during his later years as a student at the University of Cape Town. It proved to be a deeply formative period, stirring up a passion in him to see others come to know and delight in Christ. He now spends his time hanging out with students and training up gospel workers. To unwind, he enjoys reading, playing board games and watching cricket.
SINETHEMBA HLISO
Associate Pastor
Sinethemba became a Christian while at UJ through student ministry. After a year of having young believers regularly knocking at his door, inviting him to Bible studies & social events, he finally relented. After hearing the gospel explained, he accepted Christ as his Lord & Saviour. Driven by the love that Christ had for him, he too began knocking at people’s doors. After an apprenticeship he studied theology at the George Whitfield College in Cape Town, returning in 2015 to join the Hope staff team sharing the Gospel and discipling university students.
