Elders

Roland Eskinazi
was born to Egyptian parents in Harare, Zimbabwe. His father, Salomon was a Jew who came to faith in Jesus Christ when Roland was a child. Roland studied ballet from an early age, travelling to the UK when he was 16. After performing professionally with the Cape Performing Arts Board in Cape Town (1979-1985), during which time he was converted, he went to study for the pastoral ministry at the Cape Town Baptist Seminary. It was over that time along with Joachim Rieck (pastor of Eastside Baptist church), that he came to understand the doctrines of grace. He is especially grateful for the years spent at Wynberg Baptist church – with Brian Stone as Pastor.

After spending a year as a National service chaplain, and a further year as associate Pastor of Mowbray Baptist church, Roland was called to Germiston Baptist church. He served God’s people there from 1992 to 1999. He was subsequently called to Goodwood Baptist church and has ministered to the church family along with Hanlie (they married in 2001) for the past seven years. Along with his pastoral responsibilities, Roland serves on the Organising team of the Grace Ministers’ conference and is a member of the Board of the Bible Institute of SA where he has the privilege of lecturing in the Christian Leadership Programme in the Cape Flats.
