EMPD Media Unit
EMPD Media Unit, a communication arm of the Full Gospel Church in South Africa, handles media production, broadcasting, and digital outreach to spread spiritual messages. Also known as the Evangelism and Media Production Department, it ensures that sermons, testimonies, and church events reach homes, phones, and screens across the country. This isn’t just about recording services—it’s about making faith accessible. When someone in Limpopo watches a Sunday sermon on their phone, or a youth group in Durban shares a testimonial video on WhatsApp, that’s the EMPD Media Unit at work.
The unit works closely with Full Gospel Church, a Pentecostal movement active across South Africa with a strong focus on evangelism and community outreach, to turn live events into shareable content. It’s not just cameras and microphones—it’s training lay members to film, edit, and upload. You’ll find posts here about church rallies in Johannesburg, prayer meetings in Cape Town, and even behind-the-scenes looks at how a live broadcast gets set up in a rural hall with limited power. The EMPD Media Unit doesn’t wait for big budgets. It makes do with what’s available, because the message matters more than the equipment.
It also connects with church media, the broader ecosystem of religious broadcasting, social media, and digital platforms used by faith groups to communicate doctrine and build community. Unlike secular news outlets, church media doesn’t chase clicks—it chases connection. The posts you’ll see here reflect that: no sensational headlines, no clickbait. Just real stories from real congregations. Whether it’s a pastor preaching in a township church or a choir recording a hymn in a home studio, the EMPD Media Unit captures it because someone out there needs to hear it.
What you’ll find in this collection isn’t just a list of articles. It’s a window into how faith moves in modern South Africa. You’ll see how technology, community, and belief come together—not in grand studios, but in dusty halls, on cracked phones, and through silent prayers shared over video. This is the quiet, powerful work of the EMPD Media Unit: turning everyday moments into eternal impact.
