Pastor Marietjie Geldenhuys

Vice-President, Co-Pastor & Prayer Pastor

I became a member of DGFC in 1998 and the first time I visited the church, I knew that this would become my spiritual home.  Serving the church and others is what brings me delight and I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of others. I use a God given talent of interactive teaching to bring about transformation in people.  I am currently the Prayer Ministry Pastor and am in awe about the way God works through prayer.
I completed a BA Hons (Counselling Psychology), a Certificate Programme in HR, Advanced Labour Law and a Managerial Development Programme (MDP).

Finance Administrator, Bible School Administrator, Music Ministry

After closing God out of my life for some years and living a life that was very superficial, I'm so blessed to have found my home at Deo Gloria Family Church.  I love worshiping the Lord and seeing people being touched and embraced as they surrender to God. To live a life of servant-hood and serving the greater community is an honour and privilege.

I’ve been with DGFC since Aug 2000, a Godly place where I have found my spiritual home. I love the fellowship, the unity, and love at DGFC.  I’ve been an active member of this church for 8 years now.  God has been faithful and loving to me. I love getting involved and glad that I can serve God in any way I can.

Gert van der Linde

Home Group Co-ordinator, Prayer Ministry

Together with my husband Sean, I have been at DGFC for about 3 years now. I serve the Lord at Deo Gloria Family Church, in the areas of teaching and co-ordinating the home group ministry. I have learnt here in a truly safe environment that there is no sin or sickness in being gay and Christian and I can be who I am, for the truth has set me free.

Audio Visual Ministry, Prayer Ministry

DGFC became my home in 2002. It has been a blessing which has grown me to where I am now. I was married to my love, Tirone, by Pastor Deborah in 2005. I have a passion for sound and intercession, and a love for Jesus. It is exciting to see what God is doing in this Church and in our nation.

Sean Cameron Gunn

Lay Preaching, Prayer Ministry

I came to this family in 2005.  I have learnt that God loved me as a gay person. It was then that I rededicated my life back to God.  I have since come to know the power of true love and acceptance in this wonderful family in which God has placed me, under the leadership of Pastor Deborah and Marietjie. I am married to Gert van der Linde, and we have four “children” (2 dogs, 2 cats).

I have been with DGFC since 2000 and this has truly become my spiritual home. The spirit of unity here is awesome and it is something that gets noticed by all who visit.  Being able to serve in God’s Kingdom has been a life-changing experience for me and it has been a pleasure and privilege  to serve alongside such an incredibly loving and humble Christian family. I truly thank the Lord for leading me here.

Technical / Media Resources, Music Ministry, Web Administrator

When a friend invited us to DGFC in 2002, I found where I belong.  It has been an exciting journey of blessing, wonder and awe.  I have discovered the love of a God that doesn't condemn me as a gay person.  Justin, and I were married in 2005 by Pastor Deborah.  I love to behold the the Lord's beauty, and I have a deep passion for seeing hearts, especially in the GLBTI community, being set free.
