Our Story

Salt & Light Church

“It is exciting to think that we only moved here in 2022 - God has done so much! We absolutely Love God and count it a blessing to lay our lives down for Him and His people. This has been one of the most fulfilling things for us; to see lives changed by the Power of The Gospel and The Love of Jesus is in itself life changing. May Jesus continue to build His church and may He keep Salt & Light healthy and holy”

- Daniel & Taryn

28 Oct 2021 | “Anytime - Anywhere Lord” a simple prayer - but in the hands of a loving God who loves to plant churches and show His wisdom and power through His people - this was the beginning of something special.

Daniel and Taryn (Lead Couple) of Salt & Light Church were working faithfully on Eldership at Crossways Church in East London for many years when at the right moment; through faith, apostolic leadership and The Will of God would find themselves packing to leave in less than 3 months time to move towns to plant a church.

At that time, Oxygen Life Church in Gqeberha were sending leaders weekly to an Outreach Community Group meeting weekly in Port Alfred. This was the base on which others would come; families, friends, locals began to catch wind of a new church plant. The field was and is ripe for harvest.

13 Feb 2022 | The first meeting of Salt & Light Church in the bottom of the Hobbs’s Home.

Over 60 people gathered together in a room big enough for two vehicles. Four12 family and many from Port Alfred. It was such an exciting time of meeting new people and from there we began to live out our faith in community and love for one another. Meeting weekly in our homes, praying and worshipping together knit our hearts like family. The house (and church venue) was sold, so we prayed together and God supplied. We moved into the Bowls Club for a year and then to our current venue.

9 July 2023 | Moved to the Port Alfred Country Club.

We have seen and trust God for more salvations, baptisms, new people experiencing God’s love and His family - the church. He has added new people & new gifts by which He will continue to build this part of His church up in love.

“And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,'“ Ephesians 4:11-12
