CHURCH LIFE
PRAYER
Prayer is the heartbeat of our church. We believe in coming together to seek God, intercede for one another, and experience His guidance and peace. Join us for regular prayer meetings, both physically at the church and virtually via WhatsApp, so you can connect, share, and pray no matter where you are. Everyone is welcome to participate as we lift our hearts and voices in faith and unity.
Without prayer all Gospel efforts whether personal or corporate will lack power. Join our intercessors in three ways:
- Saturday morning Church Prayer Meeting 7 – 8am (whatsapp group call)
- Sunday morning Church Prayer Meeting 8:30 – 8:55am (before church service)
- Tuesday evening Church Prayer Meeting 7-8pm (whatsapp group call)
- Whatsapp Prayer Chain (email totibaptists@gmail.com for more info)

FELLOWSHIP & DISCIPLESHIP
Mens’ and Womens’ Fellowship Events – Throughout the year we gather separately as men and women focusing on relevant topics and seeking to build one another up. A family culture takes time, food and effort and we encourage everyone to make ABC family a key to doing church. See pics from our latest “Fill Your Cup” event on our Facebook page below.
Small Group Bible Studies – We love to share in your spiritual growth. The Bible is a journey to Jesus Himself. We encourage every family to grow in their knowledge of Christ and experience the power of God as they set their minds on things above. We are always open to new , approved groups starting in homes. We currently have a few ladies groups meeting Tuesday afternoons, Wednesday mornings. A mixed group meets Wednesday evenings, Thursday mornings and Thursday evenings. To get more details pls email us totibaptists@gmail.com.
Disciple Makers – In 2024 and in partnership with Harversters Ministries https://www.harvestersministries.com/en/homepage/ , we launched our own Disciple Makers initiative to empower the church to make disciples. Gathering once a week on Sunday evenings we equip disciples to make disciples. For more information contact us for the next program
GIVING
Giving at ABC is an act of worship and a way to partner in God’s kingdom work. We give anonymously, freely, and according to our ability, trusting God to provide. Every contribution blesses both the giver and the receiver, enabling us to extend the Gospel locally and internationally.
Each December and January, we hold a Thanksgiving Offering, a once-off collection supporting Baptist Union Missions, KwaZulu-Natal Mission initiatives, and Baptist Colleges in Randburg and Cape Town. Your intentional, cheerful giving allows us to plan, serve, and make a lasting impact for Christ.

PRACTICAL SERVICE GROUPS
Every member is different and connects to the over all body in different ways. We encourage every member to be connected to any one small group so that in it they have substantial relationships in the church, are contributing to the life of the church and learning more about themselves at the same time.
Music team – We love to sing! This group aims to lead the church in music on Sunday mornings. From musicians, to singers to technical assistance there is a huge scope of involvement.
Catering – We love to eat! Food is another life-giving aspect to our church life. This small group hosts our gatherings and coordinates catering for larger events when necessary. Food and drinks definitely amplifies any gathering!
Flowers – We love to express heart at all our events. Flowers bring heart to our gatherings.
Compassion – We love to help the needy! Times are tough and we aim to help families in need with food parcels and donations from time to time.
Maintenance – Our facilities are a precious resource and need to be stewarded accordingly. Our buildings and gardens create conducive contexts for spiritual growth and need constant attention so that nothing detracts from our mission.
Noahs Ark Pre School & Day Care – We love to educate! We are especially blessed to have a registered preschool for children ages 3 months to 6 years on sight. We bring the Gospel Project to the communities’ families. We aim to build bridges with the parents at the preschool all year round. Visit their FB page for more insight www.facebook.com/NoahsArkPreschooland DaycareCentre/
Finance and Admin – As a legal entity we ensure that our administration up to date with the relevant authorities and protocols. This critical component keeps our kingdom business clear, fair and legal. Decisions need meetings and meetings need consensus and consensus needs to be recorded.
Audio/ Visual Technology – Our “business” is communication and the use of technology is indispensable. We are always needing people to service or assist us at events with this aspect.
Our youth ministry takes seriously the local context God has placed us in, particularly in Amanzimtoti, where five schools lie within a five-kilometre radius of our church, alongside our own preschool ministry, Noah’s Ark Preschool and Daycare Centre (NAPS). We are committed to reaching and discipling children and young people with the gospel, providing faithful biblical teaching, loving pastoral care, and consistent Christian community from an early age. Under the leadership of Ps Cameron, our programs intentionally serve children and youth at every stage of development, helping them grow in their knowledge of Christ and confidence in their faith. Our desire is to see young people grounded in Scripture, shaped by the gospel, and equipped to live as faithful followers of Jesus in their schools, homes, and future callings.

We are committed to equipping men and women for faithful, gospel-centred ministry through sound theological training in a variety of contexts. Our students pursue studies through trusted institutions such as Baptist Theological College (BTC), Cape Town Baptist Seminary, PULSE Programme, South African Theological Seminary (SATS), and Harvesters Ministries, engaging in full-time, part-time, and online pathways, with both degree and certificate options available. These studies serve those preparing for full-time ministry as well as those seeking deeper biblical grounding for service in the local church and wider community. We value theological formation that is rigorous, Christ-centred, and rooted in the life of the church.
Supporting Our Students
You can partner with us by helping to support students currently in theological training. Financial gifts may be directed toward college fees, easing the burden of study and enabling students to focus fully on their preparation for ministry. Your generosity is an investment in future pastors, missionaries, and church leaders who will serve Christ faithfully for years to come.
At Toti Baptist Church, we believe that worship is both in spirit and in truth, and music is a God-given way to express our hearts, proclaim God’s truth, and build community. Singing engages the whole person—heart, mind, and spirit—and allows us to participate fully in worship. While emotion can deepen our experience, it is faith and trust that give worship its meaning, not feelings alone.
We sing as a family. On our stage, you will see young and old serving together, lifting their voices in unity. Our music blends traditional hymns and contemporary songs, reflecting both the rich heritage and the living faith of our congregation. We use iSing Worship alongside talented musicians and singers, and in 2026, we aim to develop our own musicians and vocalists, giving Totibi Baptist Church a distinct and authentic voice.
Christianity is uniquely a singing religion. From the Psalms to the letters of Paul, Scripture calls us to sing, and the life of Jesus inspires our worship. Singing allows us to remember God’s truth, express joy and lament, and unite as a spiritual family, making faith tangible and communal.
This ministry also emphasizes training and skill development. Every Thursday evening, vocalists, musicians, and technical team members meet under the guidance of experienced teachers to grow in skill, confidence, and service. This equips our members to contribute meaningfully to worship while developing their God-given gifts.
Our leaders and teams oversee every area of church music and service, ensuring a safe, welcoming, and spiritually enriching environment. Whether you are visiting for the first time or have worshiped with us for years, our music invites everyone to participate, celebrate, and encounter God in a spirit of joy, learning, and reverence.
