The Hopefield Reformed Church is a congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church in the South African province of Western Cape. The center of gravity of the parish is the Sandveld town of Hopefield.[1] It separated from the Swartland Reformed Church on 13 December 1851 as the 48th congregation in the then Cape Church. In 1902 Vredenburg seceded from Hopefield, in 1957 Saldanha/Langebaan Road and in 1988 Langebaan.[2][clarification needed]
