We have two WhatsApp Group for The Christian Community, ​Johannesburg.

One WhatsApp Group is intended for the purpose of notifying everyone in the Group of events at or with The Christian Community, Johannesburg. This WhatsApp Group is called "Christian Community JHB".

The second WhatsApp Group is a social group on which the participants in the group can share information that they find to be of interest and that they may think could interest others on the group. The information is often very perifereally related to The Chistian Community. This WhatsApp Group is called "Church of Lazarus Social".

The Christian Community JHB WhatsApp Group is intended for “Announcements, news, and updates related to the greater Johannesburg Christian Community”. Everyone who wishes to join this group to in order to receive or share announcement or news can do so by clicking here. Please make the request in your email specific.

The purpose of the Group is to keep everyone on the Group up to date with the events, sacraments, gatherings, talks and happening at or with the Christian Community in Johannesburg.  As a member of the Group you will be made an admin. This is for the sake of fairness and impartiality as well as serving the practical purpose of allowing everyone the possibility to add anyone they feel would want to be a part of the Group. When you voluntarily join the Group using the link above, please look in the Group Info (click the 3 dots above each other icon in the top right corner) for a member who is an admin and ask them to upgrade you to an admin as well. The onus is on each member to assist each other member. As admin you also have access to editing functions, including the Group name, icon, and description. You are requested to: be kind, be measured, be polite, be considered, and be inspired. If you have been added by someone else and feel this Group will not serve you then remove yourself. No one will feel offended.

This group has a large number of participants. This can result in a large amount of posts daily. This could become irritating. You can help in developing guidelines for the group.

Currently the accepted guidelines are:
  • No messages between 9pm in the evening and 7am the next morning.
  • No advertising of personal information or businesses.
  • Don’t reply in the Group to questions or announcements, rather reply directly to the person asking the question or making the announcement. E.g. announce someone’s birthday in the Group but wish them in a private message and don’t respond in the Group when someone’s birthday is announced.
  • If you post something by mistake, please make use for the “Delete for Everyone” feature on WhatsApp.
  • Don’t repeat an announcement more often than once in three (3) days.
  • Limit posts to announcements that are relevant to the community in general – e.g. use WhatsApp Groups for Care Groups for announcements relevant to the respective Care Group – and news that is of general interest to the congregation – e.g. the fire in the Notre Dame Cathedral may be of general interest while a large traffic crash causing a major route to be blocked is of very limited interest.
  • Communicate in English for the benefit of everyone.
  • Should you have a complaint, please communicate directly with the person in question, a priest or the Trustees and not in the Group.

These guidelines are a “living document” that can change with time. Everyone’s input is encouraged to keep the guideline up to date with the wishes of the participants in the Group. To send your suggestions click here.

The Church of Lazarus Social WhatsApp Group was started to announce thins such as:
  • well wishes
  • encouragement
  • motivational messages
  • world news
  • events outside of The Christian Community

Anyone is welcome to join this group. However, to ensure that participants in the group are not abused, only Admins can send messages. Therefore new participants to the group should identyfy themselves to someone on the group whom they know who can then make them an Admin. You can join this new Group at any time using this link.
