CHURCH LIFE
“But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.”
Ephesians 4:15-16
At STMC we believe that each member of our family has gifts and talents that may be used to help us grow in our relationship with God, each other and those who have yet to believe.
With so many young families living in Plettenberg Bay, we at STMC play an important part in the lives of children and parents alike. We have a robust Sunday School, and our facilities take into consideration the needs of parents with young babies. Go to our CHILDREN’S page to find out more about this dynamic ministry.
The Youth of STMC are encouraged to have a personal relationship with God. We enjoy strong connections with other churches and enjoy engaging with youth from all areas in Plettenberg Bay. Go to our YOUTH page to learn more about this ministry
We have a large community of seniors at STMC and are mindful of the great contribution they have made over the years to the development and growth of our church. Our facilities have been designed for ease of access and for many of our seniors who are “house bound” we have special ministries to ensure that they receive the word and the sacraments regularly. Our SENIORS page for more about this ministry.
As a church family we share so many life events. From baptisms and weddings to memorial services we take special cognizance of how we are witnesses to your significant moments. Our LIFE EVENTS page will give you more information on t how we may contribute to your special life event.
At STMC our main focus for spiritual growth apart from the teaching we receive on a Sunday is through our Fellowship, Bible Study and Prayer Groups.
COURSES
At STMC we are constantly looking for ways in which we may train up new leaders and facilitators to grow the work of our church. We are also connected to local groups that offer training in caring and counselling.
CARING
Christ asks us who is our neighbor? At STMC we take this to mean everyone. At STMC the desire to care for each other and for those in our community who are in need drives us to always be mindful of what is happening in the lives of those around us, as well as those not directly in contact with us.
OUTREACH
Community outreach programmes and inter-church programmes are part of the life of our church. We actively engage with many organisations and churches to ensure that we are working towards bringing the word of God to all through practical demonstrations of faithfulness.
