We facilitate Christian singers, bands and worship leaders to perform music, lead worship, provide training and give the Christian message at events and other settings. We can also provide PA/lighting equipment & sound/lighting engineers. Events include community outreach, youth, schools, church services, cafe church, conferences, festivals & training workshops/seminars.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

By facilitating Christian artists to perform music, lead worship, provide training and give the Christian message at events and other settings Ministry of Music advances the Christian religion for the public benefit in the following ways:

a) Seeking new followers to the Christian faith through evangelism. At most of the events that Ministry of Music facilitate the Christian message is proclaimed through the lyrics of the songs and/or the spoken message given by the artist. This might be via a personal testimony, an evangelical talk or describing what a particular song is about.

b) Facilitating the practice of the Christian faith. This is achieved in a number of ways by Ministry of Music artists including;

Leading worship at Christian events and church services
Providing RE lessons in schools
Providing seminars on worship leading in church settings

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

2025 will be our 15th Anniversary! In this time, we have helped support over 850 Christian events with over 1000 artist bookings. But most importantly the vision of drawing people closer to God has been evident at many events where people have become Christians and lives have been impacted by God!

Looking back to 2024 we successfully started the year with a ‘week of prayer’ coordinated by Kim.

We give thanks to God for all that was achieved during 2024. Music can be such a powerful and culturally relevant way to spread the Christian message, and we are thankful that we have been able to achieve this via our artists leading worship and performing music at many events across the UK. Here is some of the encouraging feedback we have received...

“Echo were absolutely brilliant. It was the first time anything like this has been done in the village so it was a big learning curve but went down so well.” “We had an absolutely wonderful time with Amy on Saturday! Thank you again Ministry of Music for setting this up.” “We are really blown away that you have been able to organise such wonderful, gifted and passionate Christian musicians and worship leaders for our whole year of events.” “Jerome led an awesome time of worship and shared a very encouraging testimony. He blessed and inspired many attendees.” “We loved having Feed'em with us. We have been really impressed by the whole service you offer and look forward to continue to use you in the future.” “Loulita was absolutely wonderful and such a lovely person to have around.”

The producers of the BBC Sunday Morning Live show were keen to have some MoM artists on their programme. Loulita was our first artist on the show. Loulita gave a brief testimony about the song she was going to sing at the end of the show and also included a mention about MoM and what we do. Five more MoM artists are lined up to be on the show throughout 2025.

We thank the 28 excellent artists that we work with for the use of their musical gifts at the many events we facilitate across the UK. Following our 2024 artist review 3 new artists will be working with us in 2025.

Our artist bookings in 2024 were significantly better than 2023. This trend has continued as we move into 2025 with many repeat bookings pencilled in for London, Bristol, Sheffield and Port Talbot.

As we move forward we will continue to trust in God to be our guide and provider of all our needs.
