A recent and important event at Kleefeld EMC is the installation of a new lead pastor.

How we’re loving and serving our community

By serving the community that God has planted us in, we have the unique opportunity to build a mission centre called The Family Central, and we are working toward establishing a community centre called the Malahide Athletic Centre (MAC).
