Brackenhurst Methodist Church is a member of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa and we express the reason for our existence as follows:

Our Purpose and Vision
The purpose of our church is to

  • gather the crowds
  • grow in devotion
  • generate wholeness, and
  • go beyond the barriers

    • Our vision is to be a worshipping, growing community of believers who serve together to make Christ known in Brackenhurst and beyond. We see a church where:

  • God is celebrated in uplifting and challenging Worship services
  • Family and Fellowship are celebrated in exciting community events such as barn dances, talent shows, quiz evenings, etc.
  • people find Healing and Wholeness and a place to belong
  • altar calls and intentional discipleship take place to facilitate Learning and Growth in the Christian faith.
  • Children, Youth and Young Adults are celebrated and given opportunity to make friends, meet Jesus and learn discipleship.
  • people become conscious of the needs of others and give themselves joyfully in Mission and Service
