  • Frequency - Frequency is the high-school ministry. More than just a place or an event, we are a bunch of very ordinary people living by faith in an extraordinary God. We place a high value on relational discipleship, and we view small groups as a key part of our ministry. We also try to partner closely with parents, and work in schools to reach grade 8-12s in Cape Town with the gospel.
