On the holiest morning of the Christian calendar, RISE fm will step beyond the studio and into a sacred space — marking a significant first in the station’s journey.
This Easter Sunday, from 08:00 to 10:00, Spirit Sessions with Carol Sanderson will be broadcast live from Church on the Hill in Mbombela, in a special outside broadcast that brings together faith, reflection, and community in a shared moment across the airwaves.
🕊️ A Morning of Reflection and Meaning
Easter Sunday stands at the heart of the Christian faith — a time of remembrance, renewal, and hope. Rather than simply marking the occasion, RISE fm will observe it in partnership with a church that has spent decades serving its community with consistency and purpose.
Church on the Hill celebrates 40 years of ministry, a milestone that reflects a long-standing commitment to spiritual leadership, guidance, and community upliftment.
⛪ Leadership Rooted in Purpose
The Easter service will be led by Apostle MVG Lephoko, a prominent spiritual leader and founder of MVG Ministries, known for his disciplined, purpose-driven approach to ministry.
Under his leadership, Church on the Hill has continued to grow as a place of worship and influence, hosting services, community engagements, and moments of national significance that extend beyond its immediate congregation.
📻 Faith Meets the Airwaves
For the first time, RISE fm will carry a live church service — an intentional shift that reflects the station’s commitment to meeting its audience where they are, not only in entertainment and information, but in moments that carry deeper meaning.
Through Spirit Sessions, Carol Sanderson creates a space where spirituality and radio meet — and on this Easter Sunday, that space expands beyond the studio into a living, breathing congregation.
Listeners will be able to experience the service in real time, whether gathered at home, travelling, or simply pausing to reflect.
🤝 A Shared Moment
This collaboration between RISE fm and Church on the Hill is more than a broadcast — it is a shared observance.
A moment where:
- faith is carried across frequencies
- community extends beyond physical walls
- and reflection becomes something collective
