Our vision
Durbanville Methodist Church is a church that is committed to “Growing a family aflame, sharing God’s love with all.
We are focused on the following 3 areas that will lead us to be effective in our purpose:
Growing in Prayer, Growing Community and Growing Disciples
Growing in Prayer – we aim to develop a culture of prayer through teaching, scheduling prayer meetings, corporate prayer in worship and building our group of intercessors.
Growing in Community – to become a family “aflame”, we need to focus on building our community as a family and build relationships with each other. In order to do this, our Hospitality commission, Cell groups, Sunday school, Youth Groups, Fellowship groups and opportunities for church members to spend time together and get to know each other are vital.
Growing Disciples – we are all called to learn from and follow Jesus in our homes, schools and places of work. In order to facilitate this, there will be various courses offered in the year to go deeper in faith. These include such course as Alpha and Disciple. There will also be various series focused on practicing the Spiritual Disciplines as well as various opportunities of service, which are facilitated by our Commissions.
