Empangeni Christian School
Empangeni Christian School is a Christian Independent School, which is accredited with the Department of Basic Education and Umalusi. It’s foundation being rooted in Victory Family Church. The school submits itself to the spiritual oversight of the Church’s authority.
The School is committed to the following principles and beliefs for Christian education:
– Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22v6)
– Parents are commanded to train their children in the ways of the Lord (Deuteronomy 6v6 – 9).
The School offers education from Grade RR to Grade 7 and embraces the whole local Christian community. The dedicated Christian educators at the school strive to educate the learners, through a biblical world view which is evidenced by a lifestyle of character, leadership, service, stewardship, and worship.
Our one common constant is that family, church and school should work together for the intellectual, moral and spiritual direction of the child.

Living Life Pregnancy Centre
Living Life Pregnancy Centre is a result of a dream I had, in which I believe God spoke to me about helping young girls/women who find themselves in a pregnancy crisis.

We equip the women with information to enable them to make an informed decision regarding their pregnancy status and alternative options to abortion. (Psalm 102:18).
