Children's church
The Milnerton Methodist Children’s Church meets each Sunday during school terms at 09h00 to learn about God and God's Word. Our ministry is small but connection is big. Children have a space to share and grow while learning about God’s love and grace. We have a time of connecting, worship, a Bible-based lesson and related craft, activity and/or game, as well as time for prayer. Our ministry currently caters for children from pre-school to Grade 7 in a combined group. For more information contact Sharon (Children’s Church Leader) on 0836805758 or email office@milnertonmethodist.co.za

Each year we host a Holiday Club for children from age 5 to Grade 6 in our community. It is wildly popular and brings children together to learn about Jesus, His love and His faithfulness. It is a week long program during the June school holidays with Bible lessons, crafts, worship, games and more! Keep an eye on our Facebook page for all the info. People often contact the church in times of family needs such as marriage, baptisms, and funerals. Please see contact us if you have such a need
Marriage:
Firstly, it is not necessary to be a member of this or any other church - it is our pleasure to share in this special occasion with you! We encourage you to do a marriage course in preparation for your wedding.
In terms of process, should you wish to be married in the Milnerton Methodist Church please contact the office. A minister to officiate will be available. There will be an initial meeting to speak about your expectations and plans for the service. For more information, please contact the office.
Baptism:
Baptism is one of the Methodist Church’s sacraments - a visible sign of something that occurs invisibly. We baptise people, not as a naming ceremony, but as a way to recognise and point out the presence of God at work. As Methodists, we believe that the presence and grace of God are clearly at work in the life of a young child and so we celebrate and acknowledge this even as we encourage the family to live in such a way that they also make the work and presence of God visible in their life at home.
Baptism is also the sign of entry into the church. It is this which makes us reluctant to baptise the children of parents who do not attend regularly, and also why we do not do private baptisms at parents’ homes or other venues. When we baptise we introduce the child to the Christian community, represented, in our case, by the Milnerton Methodist Church. For further information please see our contact us page for appropriate documentation and contact the minister.
