Pastor Khule Mthethwa
Founder & Senior Pastor
Pastor Khule Mthethwa is the founder and senior pastor of the church, established in 2015 in Harrismith in response to God's calling. He is a qualified Software Engineer by profession and has worked overseas, gaining valuable international experience before returning to South Africa.
Upon his return, Pastor Khule worked at Telkom, where he built a strong professional career. However, driven by a clear calling into ministry, he made the life-changing decision to resign from his position to fully pursue the work of God and establish the ministry.
Pastor Khule's leadership is marked by faith, sacrifice, and obedience. In 2018, he demonstrated exceptional commitment by prioritizing the construction of the House of God, choosing to invest everything into building the church rather than personal gain, including postponing the building of his own home.
He carries a strong passion for soul-winning, revival, and community upliftment, particularly in empowering young people through education and employment opportunities. His ministry is grounded in the Word of God, led by the Holy Spirit, and focused on bringing good news to the poor.
Setting the Captives Free – Healing & Deliverance Ministry
At Charis Missionary Church Harrismith, we are a church that believes in the power of God to heal, deliver, and restore lives. Our Healing & Deliverance Ministry operates with faith in Jesus Christ and complete reliance on the Holy Spirit.
Every Sunday, healing and deliverance take place as the Word of God is preached and prayer is ministered. We believe that God still works miraculously today, just as He did in the Bible.
Our Foundation: Jesus Christ is our healer and deliverer. Healing and freedom come through faith, prayer, and obedience. All glory belongs to God.
What We Witness: Healing during prayer and worship, deliverance from spiritual oppression and bondage, curses being broken through prayer, restoration of hope, faith, and purpose.
We celebrate testimonies of the blind receiving sight, the lame walking, and lives being transformed—not by human power, but by God working mightily among His people.
