Murchison Community Centre

The MCC seeks to bring a new hope to the local community by offering programmes aimed at enriching their bodies, minds and spirits through relevant activities offered at the centre on a regular basis.

Community Gym

The Murchison Gym is open to everyone aged 14 and older. A good selection of gym equipment including spinning bikes, free weights, and circuit machines is set up for a good work out, in a friendly environment.

Library

A small library has been established where young people can read novels and reference books.

 

Reading Room

A fun afternoon activity where primary school aged children can come every afternoon after school to do their homework, age relevant crafts/activities, educational games and just to be loved.

Teenage Groups

The Angels and Kings group are friendship groups that meet weekly to discuss age and gender related topics, build relationships and have fun together. This outreach gives us a valuable opportunity to build long-term relationships with youth, and walk alongside them in their journey into adulthood.

Community Vegetable Gardens

Local community members can grow vegetables, with the coaching of experienced farmers for food security in their homes.

Skills and Craft Groups

Ladies craft groups meet weekly to share skills and entrepreneurial opportunities.

Music Academy

To give young people the opportunity to learn an instrument, develop their talent; express themselves in a creative, music fashion, while learning about the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Guitar lessons take place at the Murchison Centre in the afternoons for beginners and advanced youth group

Other Projects

HIV and aids testing and counseling services through the HCT programme at the Care Centre.

The Murchison Community Centre is one of the centre’s being established as a part of the vision of Genesis to more effectively take its programs into communities throughout the Ugu District. Together with our partner’s, Project Imagine and Go-Hungry  campaign, the Genesis Murchison community centre is being developed to be a beacon of hope for our future generations.

Music Academy Students Perform in The Township Christmas Story Production

A number of the Murchison students who participate in the Genesis Music Academy programme on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons in Murchison, were excited to be a part of the TOWNSHIP CHRISTMAS STORY PRODUCTION held at NSC in December.  The gifted guitar students even collaborated in the composition of two new songs!  The experience in its entirety broadened the horizons of these boys in so many new ways and was an invaluable boost to their confidence as performers.  They were so thankful for the opportunity to participate and look forward to do so again in the future.
