2026, the year of

Divine Favour

For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.Psalm 30:5

Life Renewal Centre International is a Pentecostal-charismatic church of born-again believers, meeting in Durban and in Charlottedale, KwaDukuza. For 17 years we have gathered to worship, to grow in the Word, and to serve the communities around us. Whether this is your first visit or you are coming home, there is a seat for you. We believe no life is so far gone that it cannot be renewed, and we would love to walk this Year of Divine Favour with you.
