Choir Unit
We welcome you to our Choir unit
Psalm 149:1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song. Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful.
The Choir is one the oldest groups in Church history. It is of the Priesthood, dating back to the Old Testament Worship. It comprises a group of musicians that sing and play musical instruments to lead worship in God’s presence. In the Old Testament, the Choir was usually made up of the Sons of Levi who led worship in the Tabernacle. This rite was their sole obligation – 1Chr.15:16, 6:31-35, 2Chr 7:6. Because music has an eternal function in worship of Jehovah God, the Choir also becomes relevant in the New Testament Church – Rev.5:11, Matt. 26:30, Acts 16:25
In RCCG, the Choir at the local church level is headed by a Choir Co-coordinator who may have an Assistant; both reporting to the Minister-in-Charge of the Choir in the Parish. The department usually comprises Lead Vocalists, Back-up Singers and Instrumentalists. They are always at liberty to organise themselves and their activities for
optimised productivity.
The choir rehearsal holds every Saturday 5pm.
The functions of the choir include, but not limited to:
1. Providing sacred and Gospel music to lead worship during church services/events.
2. Performing specially rehearsed songs to minister to the congregation during the service.
3. Providing music to lead worship on special occasions e.g. Revival Meetings, Weddings, Naming or Burial Ceremonies etc.
4. Meeting regularly for music rehearsals at agreed periods of the week.
5. Regularly learning new songs and hymns, etc to be able to lead worship effectively and teach the church same.
6. Providing regular reports of the activities of the department to the Pastorate.
