Churches - Methodist in Sandton

The school has been operating under the auspices of the Bryanston Methodist Church for 36 years. Wesley is a Christian school where all children are welcome. Wesley Pre School exists to be an instrument of Christ’s hope through providing a Christ-centred, nurturing environment in which each child may develop spiritually, emotionally, socially, intellectually and physically. Our objective is to motivate, teach, guide and support each child in the early stages of their development by providing a child-centred, developmentally-appropriate learning programme with a Christian emphasis. Three years later and just bordering the leap into the 60’s, the Bryanston Methodist Community looked to the future and the needs of the youth. In 1963 the new circuit of Johannesburg was started and the Bryanston Society became part of this new circuit. So we had a building and a growing congregation, but by 1963 we still needed one important element for the ministry to flourish: A full time minister and the means to afford him. It was the Rev Allister Rundle who joined our cause and two years later the Rev Brian Brown arrived, a truly inspired man, who encouraged us to take a massive leap of faith. Brian Brown left for the United Kingdom, leaving us with a renewed vision for Bryanston Methodist. Then in 1974 the Rev John Gouws took hold of the reigns as minister and the next year Rev Russell E. Harrison was appointed as the new Superintendent Minister. And the facility furthered our youth work activities. With the 80’s came more changes in the leadership of the church and the Rev Harry Nel who had been the Chaplain at St Stithians, where we first began, was appointed as minister. The church was a hive of activities and even midweek youth work had started. This added significantly to the useable space for meetings, classes and offices and allowed us to expand the variety of youth work we could do, especially for those in their middle to late teens and university students. Various ministers served with Costa and Marge over the years. Following a course in Chicago in the United States, he initiated the Promiseland Children’s Ministry. We even planned a brand new block joining the existing hall with a view to provide space to develop the children’s ministry. It was a truly heart-warming and very necessary initiative, caring for children who needed physical, mental, emotional and spiritual guidance. During 2013 there was again a change in leadership to the Revs. Going into our 60th year in 2016, we have the privilege of being under the leadership of the Revs. Bryanston Methodist Church has become a spiritual home, catering for the needs of all age groups and the whole family. With a strong emphasis on community, members are also encouraged to join small groups and other special groups catering for their specific needs. With the Pastoral Care Ministry, the church extends its help to those in need. At the heart of it all Bryanston Methodist Church is a vibrant community, a place to meet and worship and an opportunity for everyone to become involved.
