Winning our immediate world for our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
OUR MISSION:
Touching people’s Soul through melodies. Exemplifying the heart of the preacher through musical rhythms. Educating and challenging the church about missions, using musical harmony. Equipping believers with biblical soul-lifting songs.

In 1968, Mr. S.A Idowu was elected as the Choirmaster and he served in that capacity for a period of nine years.
