Youth and Young Adults Ministries:

The Youth and Young Adults ministries at Westville Methodist Church are quite diverse in age and in activities. The Youth ministry centres mainly on a Friday evening session, and this is where the youth of our church gather together for a time of fellowship, learning and worshiping God.

Along with this Friday night ministry, we have a discipleship course known as Crossroads, after which many young people choose to be confirmed. (Please note that this is not a prerequisite for confirmation). Crossroads is a course that includes teachings on Moral Decision Making, the Trinity, Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit, and many others. The Crossroads course is run by a team of dedicated leaders, drawn mainly from the young adults, and also includes fun activities such as camps and the like.

We have a host of different bible study groups that meet, designed at meeting the needs of different age groups as well as personality types.

Other than this, the Youth and Young Adults ministries also include time for fellowship and fun, with many socials planned throughout the year. We are also involved in local outreaches, working alongside the Social Concerns Committee, getting involved where we are able. Outreach, care of those around us, is something that is encouraged amongst our young people.

Online Sermons

Justice and Service Ministries:

Evening Meal Ministry – Fiona Knight
Virtually every Sunday of the year at 5pm, MRMC's doors open to the community, as the church welcomes in all who are in need of a meal, fellowship, and a touch of human dignity. This free fellowship meal is prepared by teams from the church, which cook on a roster system. Approximately every six weeks, each team prepares a nutritious, filling meal with tea and coffee and serves it to as many people as possible. Most weeks, approximately one hundred people share in this meal.

Kairos Prison Ministry – John Schneeberger
MRMC supports Kairos in a number of ways, from baking cookies for Kairos weekends, to making children's handprint placemats, to sending team members into the prisons, to attending closing ceremony events to witness the powerful work of God in the lives of prison residents and community members. Training is required to be on a team working in Pietermaritzburg and Westville Prisons, but the reward is great! Contact the office or John to be involved in any aspect of the ministry.

Squares of Love – Cynthia Smith
This group of ladies gathers in the Church Hall to piece together squares of donated fabric, quilting it into beautiful blankets, which are sold and donated to those in need of warmth and colour in the community. Members of this group do not need to now how to sew! Plenty of work exists in cutting and patching, so all can play a part in making these beautiful, prayed over gifts.

Vision

‘A LIGHT ON THE HILL’

“You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. No-one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lamp stand and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so they might see your good works and give glory to your Father in Heaven.”
Matthew 5: 13-16

GROWING
(Spiritual Growth & Relationship with God)

‘We long to find ourselves growing into holiness. We want to move away from simple routine to experience a life-transforming spirituality. We want to rid ourselves of apathy and tedium and move into the fullness of living in the Spirit. We want to be challenged to grow but to know that God’s grace is sufficient for us. We want to experience the promise of Jesus that when we are gathered together, the Spirit of Jesus might be made manifest amongst us in what we feel, the way we speak and how we relate to each other.’

EMBRACING
(A Loving, Nurturing, Inclusive Family)

‘We long to be a community where space is created for everyone. We don’t want people to feel like outsiders. We desire that anyone who meets us in the church environment might find access to our family both easy and fulfilling. We want all people, whether first time visitors or long-standing members, to be greeted with a smile and to know that they are genuinely welcomed and cared for.’

SERVING
(Justice and Mercy / Care and Compassion)

‘We feel strongly that we are called make an impact in our community. We are not content to preach, teach, follow or establish a spirituality that is self-centered and devoid of care and compassion and not weighted heavily on the side of those who are oppressed and marginalized by society. We know that God’s kingdom is being established on earth and we are called to help build that kingdom in tangible ways. We know too that our spiritual growth lies in our ability to care for others in need.’

OUR CHURCH HISTORY

The parish began in 1852 by Father Sabon, the first parish priest of Durban. He built the first Catholic church placed under the protection of St.Joseph on the corner Grey street. As the years went by the town’s population increased and he began to make plans for a bigger church and it was not until 1881 that work could be started. It was situated on the thoroughfare of West Street, and the tower could be seen from all parts of the town.

Father Sabon, worn out by hard work, died in 1883. In November 1902 arrangements were made for the removal of the entire building, which has to be rebuilt in Stamford Hill Road, Greyville in 1903 was out of the “country”. The foundation of this St. Joseph’s parish was laid on New Year’s Day 1903, and on the 12th of June 1904, St. Joseph’s was opened for Divine Worship.

As the years passed, Greyville became industrialised and residents moved away. New major road developments were taking place in Durban and a new site for St. Joseph’s was required. It was then the site on Florida Road was purchased and in 1975, the parish moved to the new St. Joseph’s in Morningside. On the 26th of January 1976, the present St. Joseph’s was officially blessed by Archbishop Denis Hurley, OMI. The present church was consecrated by Archbishop (now Cardinal Napier, OFM) on the 3rd of October 1993.

About Us

It’s our aim to be a church that:

Maintains an emphasis on biblical teaching in each area of its program and ministry,
understanding that the Word of God is the fundamental and authoritative foundation for
all Christian living.
Demonstrates to all people, in a winsome way. the love of Christ in word and deed; and therefore is a loving, friendly, kind, non-judgmental, giving church; committed to reach out to people and meet human need.
Sees itself as family, enjoying true fellowship; able to share joys, hurts and burdens; while responding in a loving, encouraging and supporting way.
Is a Christ-centred community; a worshipping, prayerful, Spirit-led, living, vibrant, enthusiastic company of disciples; seeking to be all Christ would have us be.
Is united in purpose; committed to be doers of the Word together; as active participants
In confidently and boldly proclaiming the Gospel by every means to all people.
Knows one another’s needs and provides diverse and ongoing training for ministry for all
ages, levels and areas of life and ministry.
Is engaged in, and encourages serious and regular prayer as a means of growing in
grace and invoking the activity of God in our midst.
Emphasises both public, corporate worship and private, personal worship.
There is a real desire to be the kind of church where people can be loved and accepted as they seek to follow Christ. We desire to be a church, where the grace of God can be manifested in the lives of our people. Many churches, in an effort to be true to God’s Word, become judgmental and legalistic. We believe such churches are not being true to the Word by doing so, but are in fact discouraging people from developing a living relationship with Christ. It is possible to stand without apology for truth and holy living without becoming legalistic. There are times when church discipline must be taken for the sake of the church. But these times are rare. On the whole, we choose to trust in the power of the Holy Spirit to change lives into the image of Jesus Christ and to love one another along the way.
