“Beautifying the Space”
Outdoor Worship Area and Fire Pit – The work begins.
The “Beautifying the Space” initiative builds on the importance attached to the unique and tranquil area occupied by All Saints Anglican Church.
During 2020 the Labyrinth was completed with a custom made cross marking its place as a natural destination marker. The Garden of Gethsemeny comprises a series of standing stones set among four magnificent olive trees and overlooks the latest beautifying developments underway, the outdoor worship area comprising covered stage, fire pit and seating.

Our estimated project time frame estimates completion on 01 November 2021. We will track progress as we progress each project element. You are welcome to visit the church and see the progress as you explore our grounds as part of a time of reflection or meditative experience. You can help us and get involved by either donating materials, your time or money in form of donations. Your prayers for the realization of this project will also be appreciated.
Thank you for your interest and support.
All Saints Anglican Church is situated in the heart of Fourways. The church is nestled among tall pines, rolling lawns and beautiful indigenous plants and vegetation. It is accessed via Richard Road, a short drive from Fourways Gardens.
PHASE ONE – FIRE PIT
Estimated Completion Date: COMPLETED
Status: 100%
Breaking ground started with the firepit being the centrepiece for the outdoor events and ministry area.
Members of the ‘Beautifying the Space’ Ministry and the local Scouts group broke ground on the firepit on the 6th March 2020. This marked the start of an exciting outdoor adventure in bringing ministry into the beautiful grounds of All Saints. The firepit will be the centre piece for a covered stage area and audience seating for up to 100 people.
PHASE TWO – COVERED STAGE
Estimated Completion Date: 29 August 2021
Status: 75% Complete
Covered and made from sustainable materials, our stage will be the ideal place for sermons, gospel and story telling.
The stage base has been laid and the concrete plinth readied. Columns at each corner will support the cover. As part of this phase of the development the firepit will have a firebreak set around it in the form of a gravel and paving cross that will sit perpendicular to the stage area.
PHASE THREE – SEATING
Estimated Completion: Date: 01 November 2021
Status: 0% Complete
With an estimated seated capacity of 100, this will become a wonderful place to hear the word of the Lord, fellowship and embrace God’s beautiful church surroundings.
Awaiting commencement.
MAKING YOUR DONATION
28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
