Our mission
To unite Igbo gospel music ministers, to raise the standard of the ministry we have been given, and to see that no minister carries the work — or the difficulty — alone.

From the President
Welcome to IGMMA
On behalf of the National Executive Council, it is my joy to welcome you to the Igbo Gospel Music Ministers Association.
We are a family of ministers — psalmists, worship leaders, choir directors, choristers, instrumentalists, songwriters, producers and engineers — drawn together by one calling: to reach souls through gospel music, and to stand with one another while we do it.
This association exists so that no minister carries the work alone. Here you will find fellowship, training, a standard of practice worth keeping, and a body that will stand with you in the season when you need it most. Whether you are established in ministry or only beginning, there is a place for you among us.
Come and join us. Let us serve God, and serve one another, with love.
Evang. Uche Ndukwe
National President, IGMMA
Our mission and vision
Our vision
One association, wherever Igbo gospel ministers are found — Nigeria and the diaspora — recognised for its integrity, its music, and the way it looks after its own.

Welfare & support
The association exists partly to look after its own. If a member is ill, bereaved, or in real difficulty, the welfare desk is there — and what is said to it stays between that member and the officers handling it. Nothing about a welfare request is ever published anywhere.
What membership gives you
Six things the association does
Not a mailing list. A working body with chapters, a register, a standard of practice and a welfare fund.
Fellowship
A body of peers who do what you do. Chapter meetings, a members’ directory, and a private community you can actually ask questions in.
Collaboration
Songwriters finding producers, choirs finding instrumentalists, engineers finding work. The register exists so members can find each other by skill and by place.
Training
Workshops and clinics on musicianship, recording, rights and stagecraft — run by members who have done it, for members coming up behind them.
Standards & advocacy
A common standard of practice, and one voice when members need representing — on fees, on credit, and on how gospel musicians are treated.
Welfare
Practical support when a member is ill, bereaved or out of work. Named in our founding statement, not added as an afterthought.
Chapters
Organised by state across Nigeria and by country abroad, so membership means something local and not just a name on a national list.
The association year
