The Dutch Reformed Church in Colesberg, with the Northern Cape town of Colesberg as its centre, is the 18th oldest congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa, but due to the synodal boundaries that differ from the provincial ones, the fifth oldest in the Synod of Eastern Cape. On 10 December 2011, the congregation was already 185 years old. In 2015, the congregation had 90 baptized and 458 professing members.
