History
Among the British Settlers of 1820 was a small group of Baptists who established the first Baptist Church in South Africa, in Salem (approximately 25 kilometres from Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape). Lambert Road Baptist Church was planted in Durban in 1904 by the Durban Central (West Street) and Bulwer Road Baptist Churches to minister to "the Stamford Hill area", what is today the suburb of Morningside. During the 1950s and 1960s the church had an all age Sunday school of 200, and a significant young adult ministry.
