Mark your calendars for a profound night of international worship. On Sunday, November 15, 2026 at 6:00 PM, Carpenter Street Baptist Church will welcome the internationally acclaimed African Children’s Choir for their inspiring new tour, Light Your World.
This isn’t just a concert—it is a uniquely immersive, high-energy worship experience. Featuring beautiful new costumes, video storytelling, and the driving heartbeat of live African instrumentation, the children will lead us on a journey of faith. The Light Your World tour beautifully weaves traditional African songs of praise with the rich heritage of Gospel hymns and spirituals. From the joy-filled energy of “River of Life” and an “Oh Happy Day” dance fusion, to the reflective beauty of “Amazing Grace” and “Steal Away”, this night offers powerful moments for the entire congregation to worship together.
In spite of the hardships that have touched their early lives, these children shine with the light of the Gospel, offering a performance that beautifully displays the dignity and limitless potential of each child.
