Worship Pastor

Cornelia Klynveld 

From a young age, music was a major part of her life. She loved singing and playing the piano, dreaming of performing on stage. Today, she ministers at Church, fulfilling the dream God placed in her heart. Raised in the Reformed Church, the Psalms deeply moved her, especially Psalm 9:1-2, which became her life's guiding compass. Her family nurtured her love for music, leading to classical training and a music degree from Potchefstroom University. Her worship leader journey began at the Dutch Reformed Church in Doornpoort, where she led music for 11 years, started a band, and conducted the choir. Life changing encounters with the Holy Spirit began at Lewende Woord, where her family and she experienced profound spiritual cleansing and growth. They immersed themselves in worship, Bible study, and church activities.  After moving to Hartbeespoort in 2002, she continued to lead worship in various settings. She learned that being a musician isn't enough to be a true worshipper of God—it requires humility and reliance on Him. God prepared her for the unique gift He placed in her heart, allowing her to minister and lead others into His Presence. During her years at ChurchArise, she has come to realize the importance of flexibility in worship and leadership that embraces the Spirit's guidance. Serving as a Worship Pastor is a journey of humble obedience, and she cherishes every moment in God's Presence, driven by her dependence on the Holy Spirit and a deep hunger for God's glory.
