During 1995, Roland and Patti Barnard of Umkomaas in KZN were trained as church planters with New Covenant Ministries International (NCMI). They felt the call of God to plant a new church in Nelspruit that would relate to NCMI.

In October of 1995, the church, to be known as the New Covenant Church Nelspruit (NCCN) was launched. The first service took place in a garden flat. Eight adults attended amongst whom were Alan and Daleen Parfitt who are now leading the church. From the very beginning the church grew steadily and soon the flat became too small.

This marked the beginning of an interesting journey through a number of venues in and around Nelspruit, until in 1999 we were given the privilege of being able to use the hall of the Bergvlam High School.

It was also in 1999 that the leader of the Covenant Life Church in Benoni moved to Dresden, East Germany, to take up the lead in the NCMI relating church there. Roland and Patti moved to the church in Benoni and Alan and Daleen Parfitt were asked to take over the leading of the church in Nelspruit.  We moved into our new building complex on 5 June 2005. The Impact centre youth and Sunday school facility was opened in 2007. Today NCCN a dynamic, growing body of believers, impacting the community and the nations.
