Love Our City emerged as an initiative through which New Covenant Church Bryanston (NCCB) aimed to bring generosity and compassion to our city.
Situated on the NCCB campus are several entities, including Little Flock preschool, King's College and Preparatory School, YBF Plaza skatepark, and the Business Forum. All of these entities share a commitment to embodying kingdom justice. Grounded in a clear hope and God-given direction for the future, driven by visionary leadership on campus, and supported by passionate community members, Love Our City has been established as a non-profit organization to bring humility, generosity, restoration and compassion to the areas of education, empowerment and entrepreneurship.
Tarryn Jansen van Vuuren leads Love Our City with over a decade of experience in youth development and community-focused work across South Africa. With a background in Psychology and Social Work, she brings a people-centred approach to city transformation rooted in dignity, partnership, and Kingdom values.
