Circuit Conference West (CCW) of the ELCSA – Cape Church

Church of the Cross/ Kreuzkirche form part of the Evangelical Lutheran Cape church, which consists of the CCW and CCE. These are the different congregations in the Western and Eastern Cape. On the Cape Church website you can see the different congregations falling under Western and Eastern circuits.

The CCW plays and important role in promoting inter congregational communication and teamwork. There are different events that happen throughout the year, which the CCW takes responsibility for. The yearly Church Day is a great example of this, which happens every year on the first Sunday of March.

The CCW also sets up pulpit exchanges, which take place on the months with 5 Sundays. On those Sunday pastors from the different congregations switch and they get to preach at a different congregation. These are good for the different congregations to get to know the different pastors of the CCW.

Lastly, the CCW also organises special days through the year. In 2022 for example, there were music days, where congregations come together to play music and sing together. It’s great to see how different each congregation’s form of worship is and how they have different talents to help in Sunday morning services. There were also Church in Motion days, where the congregations come together to discuss a specific topic and to share with each other where they are and how they try and live out their calling in their areas.
