Welcome to ELCSA Midrand Parish

Midrand Parish is a parish of ELCSA, within the Western Circuit and Central Diocese. The parish is physically located in Midrand, between Johannesburg and Pretoria cities in the Gauteng province of South Africa.

ELCSA stands for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa.

ELCSA is an Episcopal Church. The Church shall therefore have an office of Bishop entrusted with an oversight concerning the Teachings and Spiritual matters.

The foundation upon which the Church stands is Jesus Christ, the Word of God as proclaimed in the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments, which we believe to be correctly explained by the three ecumenical symbols, namely the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed and the writings of the Lutheran Reformation, especially the Catechisms of Dr. Martin Luther and the Unaltered Augsburg Confession.

In addition to the above, the Church may be called upon to make doctrinal statements in order to witness to and defend Biblical truth and Christian Faith against anti-Christian forces in her environment and heresies within the Church.
