Welcome to CHURCH IN
Helping Midrand Meet Jesus In The Middle Of Life
* RESCUED FROM CHAOS * RESHAPED IN CHRIST * REDEEMING CULTURE *
OUR
VISION
Helping people live in the middle of all of life, not hiding from culture, nor getting lost in it either, but rather, telling a better story with Jesus at the centre.
Our
Mission
To build a Christ-centred, Spirit-filled community that meets people where they are, forms them deeply, and sends them to redeem culture where they live, work, and create.
Andy Crouch
“To be Christian
is to stake our lives on this belief: the only cultural goods that ultimately matter are the ones that love creates.”
Our
STORY
Why This Church?
For over a decade, we’ve poured ourselves into ministry, sharing the gospel through music, film, preaching, and podcasting, walking with people through discipleship, community, and marriage. Our journey has always sat at the intersection of theology, culture, and creativity, driven by one heartbeat: to help people see Jesus clearly in the middle of everyday life.And yet, through it all, our deepest love has always been the local church, the place where our faith was formed, our marriage strengthened, and our calling clarified. The church is where heaven meets the mess and beauty of human life, where truth and grace take root in community. It’s from that conviction that Church in the Middle was born, a church for people learning to stand faithfully in the tension between culture and Christ, faith and doubt, success and surrender.
Why Now?
We believe God is calling us to create that kind of transformative space in Midrand, a vibrant, strategic city pulsing with ambition, creativity, and opportunity, yet marked by deep spiritual drift beneath the surface. Sitting between Johannesburg and Pretoria, Midrand is the “middle” in every sense: a place where people are chasing success, building families, shaping culture, and quietly wondering where God fits in.
Why This City?
Church in the Middle exists to meet people right in the space between salvation and glory, where most people spend their lives: to help the spiritually adrift find anchoring in Christ, to disciple them in a way that is both faithful to Scripture and relevant to culture, and to send them out to live missionally in their homes, workplaces, networks, and creative spaces.This is WHY THIS CHURCH exists, to tell a better story with Jesus at the centre.
This is WHY NOW, because our city is searching for depth, connection, and truth that holds in the chaos.
And this is WHY MIDRAND, because it’s the middle ground where faith and culture meet, and where the story of redemption is still being written.
In Him, we are set apart, not to escape culture, but to redeem it.
John 17:13 - 19
