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
## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)**
We would like to offer our thanks to the following:

Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
Ministry of Music is 16 years old this year. In this time, we have helped support over 950 Christian events, with over 1100 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. 2025 continued the upward trend in event and artist bookings with our best results since 2022. We give thanks to God for all that was achieved during the year. 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... _“A big thank you for sending Redemption Arc our way. Saturday was wonderful and spirit filled. I was really inspired by their humility and heart for the Lord. We would be delighted to have them for a future event.” “Rev21 were absolutely brilliant!” “Thank you for all you did for us last year”_ During Advent we once again shared our artists festive music videos on Facebook. Each song was accompanied by a daily Advent bible verse. This proved very popular and reached thousands of people with the Christmas message via music and word. The BBC Sunday Morning Live show have now used 6 Ministry of Music artists on their programme. During 2025 they used Feed’Em, Jemimah Paine, Chrisee and Jerome Silva. We thank the 32 excellent artists that we work with for the use of their musical gifts at the many events we facilitate across the UK. Following our 2025 artist review 5 new artists will be working with us in 2026. We also thank the churches and individuals who have partnered with us through prayer and financial donations. Without this crucial support we would struggle to remain a sustainable ministry. As we move forward, we will continue to trust in God to be our guide and provider of all our needs.
