A family united in praise
At Christ Church Midrand, we love making music to the Lord. It encourages and unites God’s church family when we sing praises to Him. In awe of His majesty and what He’s done, through Jesus, the roof can be lifted and hearts can be changed. It’s a little taste of heaven. Music is a wonderful tool we can use to glorify and praise God. Music lifts us, and the words we sing, if chosen well, help to remind us of the truth of God’s Word as we head out into the week.
As a music and media team, we want nothing more than to hear people respond to the Lord in praise. We strive to play music that encourages singing and heart-felt worship. Our media team supports that effort using technology to help our congregation to worship the Lord from the heart.
What is our sung worship like?
8am Service: Here we sing traditional hymns with timeless lyrics of truth and together with our pianist and singers, we proclaim them boldly.
9:30 Service: This is our contemporary, family service, with modern worship songs, some from around the world, some in local vernacular and others written by our team.
18:00 Service: At this service, we sing an equal spread of English songs from around the world and local songs in isiZulu, seSotho, isiXhosa, Setswana and more. The vibe is one of great joy and celebration and the vast majority of the congregation here are students.
