Peter Cornelius will be inducted as the new pastor of the Claremont Baptist Church on Sunday February 24. This is the first time a person of colour has been appointed by the church to be its leader since it was founded in 1903. Pastor Cornelius and his wife, Janine, originally from Bayview, Strandfontein, moved to Claremont last month. The church is on the corner of Cook and St Michael’s roads.Â
