Lifestylez Family Church is the Church leg of Lifestylez Family Ministries. Lifestylez Family Church officially opened its doors in January 2019. The Senior Pastor and Teacher of the Ministry is André Binneman. André has been in part-time ministry since 2001 before entering into fulltime ministry in February 2018. André’s wife Nicole Binneman, also Senior Pastor and Teacher, is constantly alongside André through every work of ministry. Nicole has been in part-time ministry since 2006, joining the worship team at age 16 already, also entering fulltime ministry in February 2018. All sermons and teachings are presented in English, as English is the most recognisable language on a local and international platform. When the need arises, Lifestylez Family Church takes the utmost care to ensure that all translations are done as accurately as possible as to remain true to the original message and revelation.
The long-term goal of Lifestylez Family Church is to rebuild and restore the ‘Fallen House of David’ according to Acts 15:16-18. The ultimate goal is to become a 24-hour Praise and Worship Church. Together with this Lifestylez Family Church strives to mobilise all members by equipping them for all individual and corporate callings.
Even though we are involved in many practical things; our greatest desire is to be a church that will help the individual grow in God, develop authentic relationships, and serve our community. We realise that we cannot force anyone to grow or develop authentic relationships, therefore we have developed strategic environments that are conducive for spiritual growth and holistic development.
All our spiritual environments are designed with one goal in mind, to help individuals grow in God. In these environments we are more sensitive to the presence of God, the move of the Holy Spirit and the proceeding Word of God.
As a family church, we want our fellowship to be sweet and authentic. Our goal is not to become a social club, but to create healthy social environments for all people to connect with one another on a personal level and begin to build authentic relationships that lasts a lifetime.
Our service environments are designed to give individuals an opportunity to use their God given gifts and talents to serve others and make a difference in our community. As a church we believe that if individuals are not serving, they are not growing.
Monday mornings at 10:00 we lead the Church Prayer Ministry, and we greatly encourage all to join. During this time of warfare and intercession we deal with all Church related needs and problems, as well as needs and problems of individuals that has been made known beforehand. This time is also used to intercede and pray for our local towns or cities, our country and nation, and for the world at large.
Tuesday evening at 19:00 our Young Adults get together. The aim of this group is to help individuals navigate the difficult and dangerous waters from teenager to adult, dealing with increased responsibility and reduced restrictions and supervision. The goal is to create a safe place to be vulnerable, to share, and to learn from others in their own individual experiences, taking hands and guiding each other through the difficult times by doing life together.
Wednesday evenings at 19:00 all our Fellowship Groups gather. The smaller group format makes it easier to cater to individual needs, to socialise with other Godly minded people, and also provides the ideal platform for interactive corporate Bible study which assists in both personal and spiritual growth.
We recognise that we as humans are social creatures and the need for interaction and socialisation is ever present. A fellowship group is a small gathering usually between six and twelve people who meet regularly to do life and grow together in Christ.
We realise that in a corporate setting it is impossible to meet the needs of the individual. We are aware that in order to grow personally and spiritually individual attention, mentoring, and discipling is required. Thus, we have decided to incorporate the House-Church model of the early Acts Church as the most effective way to reach all people and to ensure that no person falls through the cracks.
Our Fellowship Group Facilitators are trained to ensure that every person who attends Fellowship Groups, is cared for. If you have not yet joined a Fellowship Group, this should be your first step towards developing authentic relationships and discovering our family culture.
Friday evenings at 19:00 our Youth gather. The biggest goal of our Youth is to create a safe space amongst likeminded, relatable individuals tackling issues head-on while engaging the Word and the Holy Spirit in finding the answers they need.
The Counselling and Deliverance ministry is very close to our hearts and one of the foundation principles on which we have built Lifestylez Family Church. Each one of us, regardless of our walk and spiritual stature, need help and guidance from time to time, in fact, we are commanded to bear one another’s burdens if we are to fulfil the law of Christ. Even our counsellors require counselling, so that our counsellors can bear your burdens more effectively. (Acts 26:16-18) (Galatians 6:2)
We ensure that our counsellors are sufficiently and effectively trained, and ensure that all seven principles of a sanctified, clean, and holy life are present. These principles are as follows: All our counsellors are baptised in water; they are trustworthy and reliable; they all go for counselling and deliverance themselves; they all have a ‘soul-burden’ or an absolute care for others; they all have well established faith; they all function in empathy; and they all have thorough knowledge of counselling and deliverance.
No man is a law unto himself and the very last thing that we want to do is to build a kingdom of our own. We surround ourselves with likeminded individuals that will not only labour with us, but also keep us accountable.
Our church counsel consists of the following members:
