Grace Family Church – Balito

Grace Church in Ballito, South Africa, has a rich and diverse background that reflects the community it serves. Its origins can be traced back to the late 20th century when a group of dedicated individuals recognized the need for a spiritual haven in the growing town of Ballito. The church was officially founded in 1995, and since then, it has played a pivotal role in the lives of many residents.


The church’s formation was a collaborative effort, with residents coming together to establish a place of worship that would cater to the spiritual needs of the community. As the town of Ballito expanded and evolved, so did Grace Church, adapting to the changing demographics and cultural dynamics of the area.


With its distinctive architecture and serene surroundings, Grace Church quickly became a focal point for both spiritual and community activities. The founding members, guided by a shared vision of inclusivity and compassion, laid the foundation for a church that would be open to all, regardless of background or belief.


As the church took root in the community, Reverend Jonathan Matthews emerged as a charismatic and empathetic leader. His leadership style emphasized the values of love, understanding, and service to others. Under his guidance, Grace Church became not only a place of worship but also a hub for community engagement and outreach.
The current operations of Grace Church reflect a commitment to holistic community development. The church holds regular worship services that cater to a diverse congregation, fostering an atmosphere of unity and acceptance. In addition to traditional religious activities, the church organizes various programs and events aimed at addressing the practical needs of the community.
Community outreach is a cornerstone of Grace Church’s mission. The church actively participates in local initiatives, including food drives, educational programs, and healthcare initiatives. These efforts aim to uplift and support those facing challenges within the community, embodying the spirit of compassion and service.


The annual community fair remains a highlight of Grace Church’s calendar. This event brings together people from all walks of life, promoting fellowship, local businesses, and a sense of shared celebration.
As Grace Church continues to evolve with the changing times, its commitment to fostering a sense of community, compassion, and spiritual growth remains unwavering. The church stands as a testament to the power of collective effort and the enduring impact that a dedicated community institution can have on the lives of those it serves in Ballito, South Africa.


The church had used the services of Northwind consultants previously with good results, and so contracted in their services once again to design and install a high-performance live system that would meet their requirements and be functional for the various activities within the church.

EAW’s legendary new compact KF series was chosen for the main systems mid/high sections, using the latest Focus settings from EAW. A high powered dual 18” was required for low frequency reinforcement, and EAW’s new RSX218 powered Sub was used with exceptional results.
