The Mayberry Park church
The new Mayberry Park congregation was inaugurated by District
Apostle Kitching on 11 December 2008.
The congregation had its roots in 1990 when many members moved to the region
from Alberton and Towerby congregations. Initially services were held in
the music room of Die Varing Highschool (now Dinamika), but in 1994 the
congregation relocated to Alberton College. A stand was already acquired
at the time when the congregation was established, but many problems ensued to
have the stand rezoned in order to build a church. Eventually the stand
was rezoned in December 2006.
Under the guidance of Bishop Hector and District Elder Farrell and his
building committee, the building project commenced. This followed soon after
the completion of the Eden Park project and work began in all earnest in
February 2008. Apostle Dimba officiated at the turning of the sod ceremony
on 10 February.
Building work commenced in June 2008, facilitated by various fundraising
efforts and donations. The church administration office provided the
furniture, altar, benches and carpets.
