About
Find out more about WHO WE ARE:
Vision and Mission
We envision the church actively living out the peace and justice of God for the world supporting local congregations by enabling dialogue, facilitating collaboration and inspiring hope-filled imagination towards justice-seeking action.
Our Story
The Warehouse was established in 2003 through the Anglican Parish of St John’s Wynberg in the Diocese of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.
Our Context
The Warehouse serves the South African church network in its response to
poverty, injustice and division, and work with local churches in all communities, helping them to catalyse sound and effective change.
Our Strategy
The Warehouse achieves its mission through four strategic focus areas:
Dialogue with Leaders
We engage church leaders to create opportunities for theological re flection, support and mentorship as they lead in transforming churches and communities and facilitate reconciling relationships in a broken South Africa.
Transformational Encounters
We facilitate encounters to inspire and equip participants in integral mission theory and practice, as well as build relationships across various divides. Facilitating Transformational Encounters includes workshops, forums, experiential learning events and conferences.
Transformational Resources
We adopt, adapt and create transformational resources to inspire imagination, challenge inequalities and equip individuals to engage theologically and enable congregations to participate e ffectively in community transformation. Through these we catalyse and fuel hope and prophetic imagination rather than only providing information and developing workshop materials.
Developing Initiatives
We research, develop and pilot initiatives which address key systemic issues in order to contribute to the effectiveness of the Church’s response to poverty, injustice and division. This strategy creates spaces where people can not only think together, but also have their thoughts and workings tested and re fined by others. It’s the space between individual concerns, ideas, work and actions that transform.
"True peace is not merely the absence of tension, it is the presence of justice"
