Drawing inspiration from The Book of Romans, Chapter 11, this sculpture embodies the concept of unity found within the grafting of the Wild Olive into a cultivated Olive tree. As an artistic representation of the grafting process, this sculpture symbolizes the integration of all people into the Kingdom of God. Using concrete, copper, and steel, the artist captures the essence of connectivity and exchange. The copper elements represent this profound interconnection, bridging spiritual and earthly realms. The copper rods stand in stark contrast to the concrete root foundation, both in material and appearance. This contrast signifies the diverse nature and experiences of individuals being woven together. The sculpture showcases a meticulously crafted root system emerging from the depths of water, symbolizing the profound growth and transformation that arises from this unity.

The Bible speaks of crowns given to the children of God - the imperishable crown, crowns of righteousness, crowns of rejoicing, and crowns of glory and life. This word crown is used figuratively in the New Testament of the rewards of Heaven God promises to those who are faithful. These crowns are in turn laid down at the feet of Jesus in an act of submission and honour to our Lord. This idea, alongside the passages in Isaiah 28 describing Jesus in very floral imagery, inspired the them of the 2022 "Crowns Laid Down" Christmas Carols event. A crown laid down on the ground demonstrated by flowers and leaves growing in and throughout the structure.

Baptism marks the personal identification with Jesus and the body of Christ.

When we come to believe in Jesus, our lives become united to Christ's life. Baptism is a public declaration of identity and faith. This steel and concrete sculpture publicly demonstrates how as a Church we value Baptism. This sculpture emphasizes the tremendous importance of committing to a journey of faith, being united to Christ, renouncing service to sin and giving our loyalty and service to Jesus.

The Freedom Sculpture comprises of figures made of concrete that are breaking free of the wall structure. The sculptures have a dual meaning, firstly referring to 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17:

“16 For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.”

The sculptures envision that moment of the second coming of Christ, a great victorious moment: the saints that have passed away being resurrected.

This sculpture represents perfect intimacy with God in a Garden setting. Alluding to the Genesis account of Adam and Eve. These sculptures illustrate the restored relationship between God the Father and people through the mediation of Jesus Christ. The smaller figures are found in a posture of worship towards the larger figure which represents God. This illustrates that the foundation of all true Christian worship is the presence of God with His people.

The sculpture is made of steel rod, cut into incremental sizes and arranged and welded to form the figures. Simple steel increments represent abstract concepts such as: love, hope, faith, submission, obedience and sacrifice. The “ingredients” that made sound worship and relationship possible.

Psalm 42

As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?
My tears have been my food
day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go to the house of God
under the protection of the Mighty One
with shouts of joy and praise
among the festive throng.

Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Saviour and my God.

My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.
Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.

By day the Lord directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.

I say to God my Rock,
“Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy?”
My bones suffer mortal agony
as my foes taunt me,
saying to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”

Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Saviour and my God.

This is a steel sculpture of a digital recording of the words: “I Love You”.

As a church community we want to represent what God speaks over us and what we speak over the community. The “I Love You” sculpture is the embodiment of this sentiment.

Nehemiah was a Hebrew man passionate about the promises of God and loyal to his people as well as a high ranking official in the Persian court. He was committed and worked tirelessly to rebuild the city walls of Jerusalem. This sculpture represents the fierce determination of Nehemiah, as well as his strong leadership, governance and steadfast faith which enabled him to rebuild the wall of the city providing the protection and security to the nation of Israel.

This sculpture depicts seven hands. Six of the hands represent the ancient measurement standard the Cubit. With the cubit many buildings, temples and palaces were built, the cubit in this sculpture is a metaphor for the collective effort of the human race. The seventh hand represents the hand of God.

“Everything in life can be built with six handbreadths, but nothing eternal, nothing spiritual and nothing that will last for eternity can be built with your genius or ability…We need the hand of God, the anointing of God, the presence of God to build His church.”
- Ashley Bell

The family sculpture was commissioned by Ashley Bell to celebrate the many families and their value to this community. The patterns seen in the sculpture are imbued with symbols that represent the values, history and principles of the church: Circles represent the radius of our church’s local and international influence. The concentric circles represent an eye symbolising vision for the future. A triangle represents The Trinity: Father, Son and The Holy Spirit. A raindrop and/or a tongue of fire, representing God’s provision and the power of The Holy Spirit. A star that represents the fulfilment of prophecies as well as the wonder of the heavens, emphasising a creator God.

The Unity Sculpture was commissioned by Ashley and Nadine Bell as a symbol of unity on this campus. The sculpture depicts a figure forming from a school of fish. Symbolically she moves towards her future, connecting Little Flock Pre-Primary with The King’s College and Preparatory School. The sculpture illustrates the collective effort required to educate an individual; the many teachers, pastors, mentors and friends all contributing to the future calling of a student.
