CHRISTIAN FAMILY CHURCH INTERNATIONAL, JOHANNESBURG was founded by Drs. Theo and Beverley Wolmarans in 1979. Having started with a congregation of just two people, this ministry has seen phenomenal growth over the years. 

Today Christian Family Church has over 14,000 members and holds four services every weekend to accommodate those attending. The Worship team, consisting of 25 members, has been acclaimed by many as being one of the best in the world. The Praise and Worship is dynamic and Holy Spirit filled. Many cell churches have been established in the local communities where members can fellowship with other Christians in homes close to where they live. Members are also greatly encouraged to form groups based on their Passion so they can use their spiritual gifts according to their personal style. The Church has trained up many Pastors for Leadership. Over 250 churches have been birthed from Christian Family Church throughout Southern Africa, as well as in places as far afield as Europe, U.S.A., New Zealand, Australia, Mauritius and Kenya. CFCI has an accredited 3 year Bible School, culminating in the School of Timothys, where students can become ordained ministers of the gospel or can simply improve their knowledge of the Bible.

The Welfare Department of the church reaches out to the poor and homeless, with teams going into the orphanages, old age homes, prisons, and other institutions, bringing clothing, food and items of comfort to the needy. A dynamic Children’s Ministry provides a safe and secure environment for children of all ages where they receive a sound grounding in the Word of God. Children are cared for in an atmosphere of love and nurturing, with exciting indoor and outdoor play areas and teachers and care-minders that genuinely love them. Further expansion programs are taking place all the time as this Ministry strives to meet the needs of its Members and the community as a whole.

Recently, after years and years of planning and dreaming, Christian Family Church finally opened the doors to its brand new church complex in Bonaero Park.
