Ministries

Kids are at the heart of what we do at SouthPoint.

Our staff and volunteers are committed to showing God’s love for children by providing a safe, caring and fun environment. Our focus is to encourage children to grow in faith, know the Bible, pray to God and develop a relationship with Jesus Christ.

We have a bright, well-equipped and colourful space, with 3 different zones for the different groups and a place for us all to come together, plus a creche.

We use the Scripture Union Light curriculum resource. Light is bible based, fun, and enables us to run sessions for children aged 3 right through to pre teens, all following the same syllabus and tailored to their age level.

Crèche 0 – 3 year olds – unstructured play

Bubbles - 3 – 5 year olds.

Children aged 5 and under are bubbling with life, excited to learn and so receptive! We use methods based on play and story to help children develop a personal relationship with God.

Splash – 6 – 8 year olds

Lively, interactive Bible based learning for children who love to play together, be creative, use their energy, and explore new ideas.

Xstream – 8 – 11 year olds

Children in this age group like to have fun! They love to be with their friends and are growing increasingly independent. We encourage 8 to 11s to live their daily lives for God.

Our prayer is that each group would be transformed by meeting Jesus.

Hope to see you there soon!

Around 2006, Graham Power, founder of POWER Group, saw this devastation around him and knew that in order for South Africa to realise its tremendous potential, greed and corruption needs to stop. He understood that the tide of corruption and unethical behaviour in our institutions and societies can only be stemmed by active opposition to such behaviour and a groundswell of public support for ethics, values and clean living. Thus Unashamedly Ethical was born. It was only a few years prior that Graham had initiated a Day of Prayer with a gathering held at Newlands Rugby Stadium in 2001. In the following years, the Day of Prayer spread throughout South Africa, Africa and, by 2010, was held in 220 nations around the world, earning it the name, the Global Day of Prayer (visit: www.globaldayofprayer.com for more information).

Meanwhile, following Graham’s vision to see all 220 nations in the world committed to ethical living, he and his team developed the infrastructure and identity of the Unashamedly Ethical campaign and in May 2010 launched it globally. A Constitution was adopted and an Executive Committee established to oversee the campaign. The initial focus of Unashamedly Ethical was on South Africa and there was tremendous support from people in politics, business and local communities who grasped the vision and realised that they had a part to play in transforming South Africa.

Unashamedly Ethical was blessed to enlist the patronage of two esteemed leaders of society, namely, Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town, The Most Revd Dr Thabo Cecil Makgoba, and Michael Cassidy, the founder of African Enterprise. Both Archbishop Makgoba and Mr Cassidy continue to serve as the campaign’s patrons.

As at March 2015, Unashamedly Ethical had signatories in 107 countries. The top five countries with the most signatories were as follows: South Africa (21 409); Malaysia (3 787); USA (679); Kenya (547); and Jamaica (455).
