On the 8th September 2024 in the streets of Cape Town, four dioceses of the Western Cape met to celebrate 130 years of Church Lads and Church Girl’s Brigade

A celebration which started with a procession of brass band, bridgage members parading, Priests and Bishops of these four Diocese. The final destination was the Cathedral of St George’s where  Archbishop Thabo Makgoba preached and celebrated over Eucharist. Present were Bishop of George, +Edwin Pockpass, Bishop of Cape Town, +Joshua Louw, Bishop of FalseBay, +Stafford Moses and Bishop of Saldhana Bay, +Raphael Hess

At the heart of the brigade’s ethos lies the profound motto, “Fight The Good Fight,” drawn from Ephesians 6:14-17

Members are encouraged regularly to equip them with the armour of God.  As we live in a world plagued by all kinds of social ills such as substance abuse, bullying, domestic violence. We firmly believe that by instilling true membership values, fostering instinctive service to others, and cultivating unwavering trust in God, we can combat these challenges effectively.

The brigade welcomes members as young as 6 years old, nurturing their spiritual growth while encouraging active involvement within the church & their respective communities. Our diverse activities, including participation in the Servers Guild, Choir, Sunday School teaching, Bible- and Confirmation class teachers, music classes, outdoor games, art & craft, and youth leadership, empower our members to lead meaningful lives deeply rooted in faith.
