Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church

Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church is a church situated in the very heart of Johannesburg. The busy streets of Yeoville and Berea are a normal buzz with people from every walk of life anxious to achieve their daily objectives and chores. It is in these streets that the dreams of many contemplate the realities of everyday life. As the mother seeks her young, the sweat of many remains unrewarded. Under the summering scotch of the sun, the uniformity of the cry is undeniable; their plea is merely ‘seed to the sower and bread to the eater’. It is in the midst of this anxiety that a song breaks, and the conscience of the relentless streets is restored. The spirit is one with God and the soul dances in a manner that only an African can. As the song draws many near, prayer penetrates the heavens and the light house that is Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church summons many to an audience with the Almighty God.
