Create is a visual arts group run by Paul and Gaynor Steele, meeting every Sunday during school term from 1pm-3pm at SouthPoint. Those that attend are encouraged to grow their artistic abilities, share skills of painting with acrylic, oils, watercolour and pastels. Coming along is FREE and participants are to provide their own materials. We are happy to provide advice about what to purchase.
Annually in August the group comes together for a SALA (South Australia Living Arts) exhibition and open house during Sunday sessions where there is the opportunity to showcase and sell works.
To experience God’s love, expressed in quality relationships and through pastoral care that will restore individual lives, build healing communities, praying for each person and growing disciples of Jesus.
Scriptural emphasis – Matthew 25:35-40
35 For…….
I was hungry and you gave me food, (meals for those in need)
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,(meet people’s needs)
I was a stranger and you welcomed me, (new people may feel welcomed)
I was naked and you clothed me, (provide support in many areas)
I was sick and you visited me, (for those who face physical challenges)
I was in prison and you came to me. (for those who are bound)
37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, [a] you did it to me.
Meetings are held each month and the format of each meeting commences in prayer, devotional, sharing what God has been doing in our lives and a topic for the meeting.
Kids church is open on Sundays during the service to children of all ages.
We use age-appropriate material that meets our goal of taking the children deeper into an aspect of Christ’s character over several lessons.
Ages 4-11 - We aim to teach in a fun way using different stories, games and activities.
All our programs operate to ensure we comply with Child Safe standards and that risk plans are in place. Our leaders have necessary training to ensure all safety standards are met and adhered to.
For such a small church our Outreach is amazing. New as well as regular missions that take place are:
- Dignity Freedom Network that helps releasing and protecting women and children from human trafficking

- SALA is an annual event where local artist display their works.
- Kids church
- Bible study for the elderly and community
- Supporting past elderly members by visiting and offering help to them as they are in residential care.
- Compassion children
