Moederkerk, Dutch Reformed Church in George, South Africa.

Moederkerk is a Dutch Reformed church in George with a tower rebuilt in 1906 to the design of architect Folkert Wilko Hesse after the original collapsed in 1905. Its ceiling, gallery pillars and gallery panels are of yellowwood, and the pulpit, designed by Heyns, is of local stinkwood. The main door is of kiaat wood, brought by ox-wagon from Cape Town.

The Dutch Reformed congregation of George was founded in 1813, with Tobias Johannes Herold as its first minister. The cornerstone of the current church was laid on 14 April 1832 by Reverend J.S.S. Ballot, and the building was consecrated on 9 October 1842 after twelve years of construction delayed by a lack of funds. The tower collapsed in 1905 and was rebuilt the following year to a design by architect Folkert Wilko Hesse.

The congregation was founded in 1813 as the ninth of the Dutch Reformed Church and the eighth in today's Western Cape Synod; the church has held Sunday services since its consecration in 1842. Its name, Moederkerk (Mother Church), marks it as the parent congregation of churches later split off from George, among them Knysna, Oudtshoorn, Uniondale and Herold, the last named after first minister Tobias Johannes Herold.

The building is located in the center of George and welcomes visitors during most hours of the day when services are not taking place. It is helpful to check ahead to avoid times when religious ceremonies are scheduled, ensuring a better viewing experience.

The pulpit was designed and finished within a year by a craftsman named Heyns, carved from local stinkwood at a cost of R400. The main entrance door is of kiaat wood, hauled by ox-wagon from Cape Town to George.
