Outreach & Missions
“You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth” – Acts 1:8b
Centre of Hope
Montagu Cares is a local NGO that MCC, in conjunction with other parties, assists financially with with the ministry of serving a cooked meal 3x a week to the homeless and needy in the town. Centre of Hope – a church in the centre of town – provides the venue, practical preparation and serving of these meals. This ministry is faithfully administered throughout the year.
ACVV (Afrikaanse Christelike Vroue Vereeniging)
The ACVV, established in 1904, is the oldest welfare organisation in South Africa. It renders comprehensive social welfare services in many towns and cities and has offices in Montagu and Ashton. MCC utilises the ACVV building facilities in Montagu for church and related services.
The work of the ACVV is partly funded by private and public resources and the Montagu Community Church provides an annual rental for the use of the hall on Sundays and makes both a monthly cash donation and the income from specific offerings towards its work.
Distribution of school-wear
From time to time MCC receives donations of second-hand school clothing from some Cape Town Southern suburbs schools and directs these to needy farm schools in the area
Prison ministry
MCC provides financial support for a prison ministry which works in the Boland areas.
