Nicky Morris - Children's worker
Nicky Morris is a trained teacher with a deep love for children. She became a Christian at the age of 21 whilst studying the book of Mark. She became convinced of the truth of the Bible, of the saving power and divinity of Jesus and of her own personal need for salvation. After teaching for a few years in London Nicky joined the 9:38 Apprentice Scheme run at Dundonald Church in Wimbledon. Following her two year apprenticeship, which involved working with children and church administration, she returned to South Africa to pursue a degree in theology and a licentiate in children’s work (as well as an honours year focusing on children). She is now in her third year of working fulltime at Christ Church Umhlanga where she loves running the children’s ministry!

Robyn Connor - Administrative genius and CCU Mother
I became a Christian in my youth but it has taken a lifetime to understant and fully appreciate just exactly what God did for me to reconcile me to himself in Jesus' death on the cross.
I am still learning that "When God's opinion is what matters most -- the God who smiles on us in his grace -- then we are liberated to serve others out of love, rather than gain their good opinion."
I am serving at CCU as the Co-ordinator on staff.
