The Music Ministry

The Choir of Union Baptist Church, Lagos is a collection of born again Christians who have been set apart to minister to God and His people through Music. It consists of both instrumentalists and vocalists.

The Levites takes a special place in the worship of Yahweh and they were officially organized under God through the leadership of Moses and established in the temple worship by David, the Psalmist. This tells us the importance of the music ministry and how sacred it is. The music ministry exists for the talented and the untalented. It is utilized in teaching, training, evangelism, stewardship and all other church activities.
