We made use of the church's garden of remembrance as non-members of the church. Very friendly and dignified service from the staff and the residing reverend. Well pleased.
Safe and well cared for garden of remembrance.
Very good school for all the children. Teachers are very kind and lovingly. I chose the right school for my son who matriculated many years ago and I didn't hesitate to place his little boy in this school.
My Son and Daughter-in-law had their wedding in the chapel.
The minister gave a lovely service, stunning venue and lovely location.
We even got to ri g the church bell!
Thank you to all who made our little event so special!
Have always enjoyed Warren's sermons. His sermons are always very insightful, uplifting and positive. Sad to hear that he is re locating to Plett. Our loss but their gain. Wish him and his family all the best as they enter this journey and new chapter of their lives. God bless.
The service was great. Coffee, tea and eats were served after the service, but unfortunately no fellowship. Only the Reverend greeted us. Thank you for the fantastic service.
The wedding chapel is a throwback to yesteryear and worth the traditional wedding experience. As a 1st time visitor, I enjoy the environmental occasion.
A place where you really feel like part of the family. A caring congregation who welcome all with a smile. This church is non-denominational and offer thought provoking and educational sermons from exceptional ministers which always leave you feeling closer to God. I highly recommend this church to anyone and everyone looking to grow in their relationship with the Lord.

It was amazing to be there. I really enjoyed it so much. A specially the sermon and the beautiful songs.
My wonderful home and wonder family of christ,my heart rejoice, I love my church
It was wonderful to be part of the ACSI conference held at HCC. Food, arrangements and speakers at the conference were really good. The school that is linked to HCC is a lovely example of the fulness of Chritian Education. The ECD section is amazing.
My home church - best ever. One of few churches that allow growth and where leaders do not hog the pulpit. Best leadership down to earth. Freedom of worship.
I have been a member at Harvest for 39 years. I love my Harvest family. I love the worship, the sound Biblical-based teaching and practical application for today. Never do I leave a gathering unchallenged. The messages are real and relevant and I'm grateful to God for being able to worship and fellowship with other like-minded believers, who love God! Without God I am nothing. He is my all-in-all.
I attended a 2 day leader conference...it was awesome...
God is good...
So much on the go at this church...this is really a dynamic church. I find people are very friendly. The music and worship is amazing and the sermons are thought provoking and interesting. God bless this church.
Been a bit disappointed lately. Worship has become tired. Stage set up is dull and uninspiring.

Went to the Carol's by Candlelight. It was fantastic! What a vibrant, positive experience. Even my 8year old son who doesn't enjoy singing etc can't stop talking about it and wanting to return.
Awesome Church
W.O.F.B.I-graduation
I enjoyed the service, very different and chill , I didn't see much of an isolation as I do from the church I normally go to. As a first time visitor I felt very welcomed .
A very pleasant experience and good family church. Service times are 9am 5pm and 7pm. The volunteers and staff are friendly and there is also a Sunday school in the morning service with various classes for ages ranging from 1-13 . Also has a coffee shop , where the chai latte is the best choice to make for warm drink. The carrot cake is rather good too.
Attended a 60th Birthday at the Connection Cafe and enjoyed every second with my hubby. Excellent, brilliant from Start to Finish.
The presence of the living God is there. If you need change or a touch from God, healing or freedom... that is the place to be. Best of all, it is for free and it is found in relationship with Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:6 (Amp): And this includes you, called of Jesus Christ and invited [as you are] to belong to Him.

Church
Oxygen Life Church is a place where the focus is on loving God passionately, loving people sincerely, and making disciples of Jesus. The church emphasizes that Jesus Christ is at the heart of the gospel message and offers forgiveness. Many cherish this church for various reasons, feeling a sense of divine calling and experiencing deepened faith. The congregation is known for being exceptional, offering warmth, support, and a sense of belonging.
I've been at Oxygen Life church for 11 years. Stay at this church and get connected to the people around you and to the Lord, and you become part of a family. Which means that sometimes people will hurt you, and you'll definitely hear things you don't want to hear but which will benefit you, as well as having people who are there for you in the toughest times and who encourage you when you can't see hope yourself. If you want to be part of a family of Christians aiming to live biblical Christianity as seen in the first church, this may be the church for you.
David F — Google review
I cherish this church for multiple reasons. Above all, I believe it's a place where God has directed me to be. The sense of divine calling I experience here has deepened my faith in profound ways. The people within the AM congregation are exceptional, offering warmth, support, and a sense of belonging that has enriched my life. The church's atmosphere is both uplifting and peaceful, creating an ideal space for worship and reflection. In light of these factors, I wholeheartedly award this church a 5-star rating, feeling genuinely blessed to be part of this wonderful community.
My church what can I say, just filled with welcoming happy people. Eager to help in anyway possible. They take leadership seriously and are just plain amazing. I'm so happy my son asked me to go. The children's church is fantastic and my kids are hooked.
Grandson attended holiday club. Security was excellent and had lovely entertainment for the different age groups
Best place ever! I look forward to meeting with friends, and learning about God every Sunday. Not too mention other events held by the church.
I also enjoy going to Stir during the week.
Great place of worship and make friends who become more ike your family. Moving to PE a new place all together, was like Abraham who moved by faith. People @Oxygen Life a genuine and the Word that is being preached its what is being lived, the worship makes you feel like you just need to be taken in a chariot. So blessed to be part of the team. Looking forward to more.
We attended a wedding here and received friendly greetings from old friends and new faces. Their eldership practices what they preach and leads a youngish group of believers very well. They put a lot into youth development, running youth groups and holiday clubs with total enthusiasm and dedication. This Christian group is well worth a visit if you are local and looking for a permanent place to get involved with.
My 1st visit. Worship and sermon divine. If all fathers/husbands/high priests could follow Ps Brad's example, how divine life would be. Godly principals and discipline. A special thanks to angel Bella who made me feel very welcome and even came to sit next to me !!! I command extravagant blessings over Oxygen Life in Jesus Name John 10:10 LOVE LOVE LOVE is HIS Name 👑🏆🔑🙏

We went visit last night. The welcoming was phenomenal we felt love of Jesus being spread and we really enjoyed blessed service.
Lovely events venue. Easy to navigate. The stairs are steep, though, and probably not very safe for little kids. Lovely ambiance and overall highly recommended.
Attended a seminar here. It was a fantastic day. We had a very warm welcoming, even lunch. Great church to visit.
Our new, nearly-completed Auditorium. Enjoying the beauty, warmth, simplicity and 'spaceousness' of it... All surrounded by an authentic Community of people, some newly-arrived, and some 'oldies'... Journeying life together in the joy and the heartache.
Had a pleasant experience there, although not for church,but for NGO/NPO's meeting. Seeing how these groups of people can equip and teach people to better their lifes. Truly inspirational. How people selflessly give to those in need. Watch this space. People's lives will be changed forever.
Great place for fellowship.
Family for the lonely. People are welcoming and service is Spirit-led and Word-based. Worship is absorbing. Wonderful experience.

Great Community, Nice Place of Worship and Amazing Architecture
One good thing about St Augustine's Cathedral there always have Shona Mass at the last Sunday of the month for ZimCatholics or Zimbabwe Community.
A very beautiful place of worship. I enjoyed every bit of the mass. The mass was heavenly. I felt like I was in Rome for mass. The priest, Fr Jerry is also lovely. He practiced the hymns for the mass with the congregation 5 mins before mass started, a practice I've never seen.
The sermons here changed my life and made me understand the love of God . I appreciate this church . Very welcoming and accommodating of people’s cultures . Thank you

Spectacular cathedral.... Just pretty difficult to get in to see it as a tourist. Staff are not overly friendly unfortunately to tell me about it.
Attended the Advent Evening service, and enjoyed the beautiful music. Choir did well, and the organ was a pleasure to listen to and an inspiration to worship. Just a pity that the congregation was so thin at about 35.
One of the oldest churches in Port Elizabeth. Definitely take a trip inside the church
Really beautiful church.
One of the Cathedrals in Southern Africa wich is not only amongst the oldest but also diverse. This Cathedral is well known for its traditional style of worship and music. It is amongst few churches in Anglican churches of South Africa where foreigners from neighboring country of Zimbabwe are allowed to hold their own Shona service and worship under the leadership of James Tonde Nhererwa. A very encompassing and beautiful place let alone welcoming.
St Mary's offers old Anglican prayer book services isikosa shona and youth services. Wonderful

Christian church
Nestled in a charming locale, Holy Trinity Church has a rich history that dates back to 1854 when a group of members from St. Mary’s decided to establish their own congregation. The church we see today was constructed in 1866, with its iconic tower added later in 1872. This sacred space is often referred to as a "Healing House of Prayer for All Nations," where visitors are greeted with warmth and hospitality.
Always a treat hearing Ulricht's message. He has been a great comfort to my family and I through difficult seasons and always so willing to help.
