With rhythm and infectious energy, the Young People’s Choir brought the spirit of joy to the 2026 Pentecost concert. “South African Medley” made cultural richness audible.

A special guest made an appearance at the 2026 Pentecost concert in Cape Town, South Africa: the audience. Invited to join the grand finale, spectators sang along—clearly relishing the moment. 

Have your tissues ready. The orchestra, choir, and Young People’s Choir performed a deeply touching rendition of “God be with you till we meet again”.

The orchestra, two choirs, and an impressive lineup of soloists transformed the Pentecost concert into a celebration enjoyed by tens of thousands of spectators—both on site and online. The photos from Silvertown.

Not only church members around the globe are eagerly awaiting the Pentecost concert from Cape Town. Here is a quick peek. The concert on 23 May 2026, 5 p.m. (UTC+2) can be followed via livestream.

The New Apostolic Church is embarking on a historic week: believers from all around the world are turning their attention to the Pentecost celebrations in South Africa—and the ordination of a new Chief Apostle.

Pentecost week is approaching. And to prepare our hearts, we turn to “Spirit renewed”, the 2023 South African hit that has become the New Apostolic Pentecost anthem.

From humanitarian aid and creative youth initiatives to revitalised congregations and the sound of music. Faith in action can be seen all over the world. 

A song of hope and faith, “Kalila Mangwana” (Don’t cry for tomorrow) is sung in Shona, a language spoken primarily by the Shona people of Zimbabwe.

With less than six weeks to go until the 2026 Pentecost celebrations, excitement is building and preparations are entering an intense phase.

“Nuestros himnos” (Our hymns) was the title of a memorable concert held in Argentina in 2023. Among the anthems sung was “Cuántas horas hermosas aquí yo viví” (How many wonderful hours I have spent here), a heartfelt tribute to God’s fatherly love and protective care.

During the recent visit of the Chief Apostle to Lusaka, Zambia, a sign language choir delivered a performance that speaks beyond words. Here is a contribution in honour of World Hearing Day today, 3 March.

“Gently, ever so gently, a light warms us.” For “You are the Saviour,” the choir sings in the hymn “Die Liebe bist Du”. It creates a contemplative prelude to the divine service for the departed. 

“Don’t be afraid. Just believe!” The New Apostolic Church Canada presented the design of its logo illustrating the 2026 motto not with an explanatory video, but with a musical declaration of faith.

From delicate and fragile to powerful and majestic—and always deeply moving: this is the sound that emerges when South African musicians reinterpret what is often regarded as a simple children’s song.

Coral Afrikaníssimo: African dialects, traditional instruments, and the goal of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

“See What A Morning” is actually a resurrection hymn. But what better way to start the New Year than with the certainty that nothing that may come our way is greater than the Saviour. 

Lively, diverse, and reflecting local traditions: that is how the congregations of the New Apostolic Church can be described. The photos of the year on nac.today testify to this.
