Nestled in the heart of Midrand, South Africa, we celebrate our diversity through our multicultural congregation that brings together people from all walks of life. We believe that spirituality and joy go hand in hand. Our services are a powerful fusion of dynamic preaching that touches hearts and transforms lives, complemented by an exceptional music ministry that raises the standard of worship. Excellence is not just a goal at Yonder - it's who we are. In everything we do, from our weekly services to our community outreach, we strive to honor God through our commitment to excellence. As a rapidly growing congregation, we are driven by a bold and ambitious vision. We believe that God has called us to make a lasting impact not just in Midrand, but throughout South Africa and beyond. Our growth is not just in numbers, but in the depth of our faith, the strength of our community, and the reach of our influence. Together, we are building a spiritual home where everyone is welcome, where faith is lived out with authenticity, and where lives are transformed through the power of God's love.
