Resurgence Church is a Spirit-led, Christ-centered community devoted to discipling believers, restoring families, and transforming neighborhoods through the power and presence of God.
Founded by Preston and Tanya Jongbloed, Resurgence Church was birthed under the apostolic covering of Apostle Theo Roman and the leadership of Westreach Assembly of God—a ministry recognized for raising and releasing leaders across South Africa. Our church is aligned with the Assemblies of God Association of South Africa (AOGASA).
After more than a decade of faithful service at Westreach, Preston and Tanya responded to a fresh stirring from the Lord—to step out in obedience and plant what would become Resurgence Church.
To create a Spirit-led, Christ-centered community where every individual is discipled, families are healed, and communities are transformed through the power of revival.
Reviving hearts. Restoring families. Reclaiming communities.
“Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces but He will heal us; He has injured us but He will bind up our wounds. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will restore us, that we may live in His presence.” — Hosea 6:1–2 (NIV)
“Come, let us return to the Lord” speaks directly to the heart of revival and resurgence—a calling back to God.
“He will revive us… He will restore us” beautifully mirrors the heartbeat of a church that seeks to bring life where things have grown dry or broken.
The reference to “on the third day” points us to the resurrection power of Jesus Christ—the ultimate picture of resurgence.
Preston and Tanya Jongbloed, along with their son Ahren, serve as the Lead Pastors of Resurgence Church.
Preston’s journey into ministry began on the soccer field, where he played as a professional footballer until a career-ending injury in 2005 changed the trajectory of his life. Following his retirement from sport, he stepped into the world of media and went on to serve in Christian radio and television for over 20 years.
Tanya brings a unique combination of corporate leadership expertise and a deep passion for women’s ministry. She has devoted much of her life to mentoring and empowering women—especially those facing hardship—helping them rediscover their God-given identity and live with renewed purpose and dignity.
