Chapel

Our first chapel was built with funds donated from a lady who had been specifically guided by God to pass on most of her retirement funding for the provision of a sanctuary. The beautiful wooden chapel that resulted was destroyed by veld fire in 2000, but as a result of insurance and many generous donations the present chapel was built, furnished and opened again.  Basically circular in shape, the building can accommodate up to 100 people, if the foyer is also used for seats. The large windows look out over the ocean and the endless coastline, and a wonderful water feature running over natural rocks.

The chapel contains several evocative and tasteful items. Two interesting wooden crosses – a central one made for the first chapel from a driftwood beam found on the Wilderness beach and a miniature one made from olive wood from the garden of Gethsemane. The lovely oak lectern was made and donated in memory of a son who died tragically. The banners have all been made by the workgroups attending our Celtic Christianity retreats.

The chapel is available for all kinds of Christian events and celebrations. A paved pathway provides easy access, fairly steep but usable even for wheelchairs, with assistance.
