about us

UTurn Church wants to make a lasting difference in your life, in our community, and in the world. How do we go about that? By leading people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. That’s the driving purpose behind everything we do.

In your life:
We want to help you get to know God better and enable you to become who He’s created you to be. No matter where you are in life, we’ll help you figure out some next steps in your journey with Him. It could start with joining a small group, serving, participating in a personal growth plan, giving, or attending church regularly. Along the way, we hope to work with you to make the world a better place.

To build a strong relationship with God and others, it’s important to engage in a community of like-minded people. LifeGroups are one way for this to happen.

For your family:
We believe that strong families start with a solid foundation. We partner with parents to help raise up the next generation to have a strong relationship with Jesus. There are opportunities throughout the week for children and teens to grow closer to each other and to God. Ask anyone of our helpers on a Sunday morning about our high school, Heritage Christian Academy.

In our community & in the world:
We’re serving a global community…in person and online, individually and in groups, inside our church and around the world. We serve in many different ways, but there’s one common thread: people who are passionate about demonstrating God’s love to others. As a church we support and engage in several causes to serve our global community.

The people:
The church isn’t a building–it’s people. And we think you’ll find UTurn a pretty friendly bunch! We meet in Robin Hills in Randburg in our own auditorium called the Workshop.

Craig and Leanne Smee are the founding and lead elders of UTurn. Craig, his wife, Leanne, and their three children live in the Randpark area where UTurn began in 2009.

Including Craig and Leanne, our Directional Leadership Team (Richard and Odette, Derek and Nikki, Bongani and Fikile) work together to shape the vision and direction of the church.
