Our Ministry

Children’s Ministry

   "Children are the future" goes the old saying, but they are also the present, and so a great deal of emphasis is placed on the children’s ministry. This is also a ministry that the congregation promotes strongly, especially because of the strong ties to the school.
   Every Sunday the children join the main service for the first 15-20 minutes before they and the Sunday-school teacher head off to the church hall for an enjoyable, age-appropriate Sunday School, or Kindergottesdienst, lesson.
   The congregation runs an annual children’s ministry camp - the Kindergottesdienst Ausflug - always a highlight for the Grade 1-7 children. Over and above what the congregation offers, the children also have the opportunity to participate in events run by the ELCSA(N-T) children’s and youth ministry, like the annual Kailager camp.

Music

   As in any vibrant congregation, especially in the ELCSA (N-T), music plays an important role and comes in a variety of forms and from a range of sources.

Brass Band

Instruction in brass instruments can be arranged through some of our members and the congregation has a very active brass band which regularly plays in services and at other functions.

Worship Team

The congregation’s musicians combine their talents with the school’s chapel band and worship team, especially for youth services.

Choir

Always on the lookout for new choristers, our well-trained choir sings during the 1^st Sunday service of every month, as well as on other festive occasions.
