Summerstrand Community Church

Being Discipled…
Inspiring Disciples

Summerstrand Community Church began as a children’s Sunday School in a garage in Tiran Road in 1976. As it grew and parents wanted to enjoy fellowship, the church bought the land in Erasmus Drive in 1980. Today the Church serves families and individuals from all walks of life as we gather to celebrate and grow in Him.

Pastor Mark & Mercia Upman have been serving since 2000. Both are bi-vocational. Mark runs a construction team, while Mercia is principal of the church’s Little Eagles Play- & Pre-School. They have three adult children — two daughters Lynette and Simone, and a son Jean.
