Revival Choir

At the onset of St. Matthew’s Anglican Church (SMAC) in 1987, there was need to move in the Anglican mode of worship as the vision of the church was to effect revival in the Anglican Communion worldwide. Hence there was the need to convince all that we were really ANGLICANS. Besides, there was the need to lead the worshipers in choral singing in the church as worshipping God in songs brings His divine presence to His children.
The name Revival Choir was given by the first Vicar of the church in 1990 (the Rev. I. O. Tejevbo, now Ven. I. O. Tejevbo). It was as a result of the ministration during a church programme. Since then, it has become our name and symbol.
