“These ministers include the acclaimed rave of the moment artiste, Victor Thompson, the inspiring Timi Dakolo, the dynamic Greatman Takit, and many more gifted artistes.
“The maiden edition of ‘Jesus + Nothing Worship’ presents an opportunity for individuals to experience the unifying power of worship.
“This is important as we collectively reflect on the profound significance of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice and the abundant life we find in His resurrection.
“The worship experience will also feature captivating performances by other gospel music ministers such as: Neon Adejo, SMJ, Noble G, Steve Hills, Lily Perez, Joxie, Anderson Qozan and Pastor Victor Paul.
“Others are EmekaSongz, Flo, Dorcas Moore, Magpsalms, Mera Owili, Gerald Bishung, Phebe Lion, and the vibrant Evolution Children’s Choir.”
Peters noted that the Jesus + Nothing Worship served as an inspiring prelude to The LOGIC Church’s annual ‘Jesus + Nothing Conference’, scheduled to hold from May 28th to June 1st, 2025.
He explained that the worship event and the conference underscored the church’s unwavering commitment to a pure, Christ-centered understanding of the gospel, expressed vibrantly through the power of music and the transformative Word of God that reveals the gospel of Jesus Christ.
He said the worship experience promised to be a life-transforming event, focusing on the profound significance of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection, and the redemptive grace freely offered through Him.
“Attendees can anticipate an evening of deep spiritual connection and sincere worship.

“ ‘Jesus + Nothing Worship’ directly aligns with our mission to cultivate a family, where grace and faith are central to our teachings, and where the transformative Love of God in Christ is tangibly felt, a welcoming home for everyone.
“It also supports our broader vision to preach the Gospel to all generations through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and to empower and impact individuals to flourish in every facet of their lives,” he said.
The lead Pastor of the church noted that the church would be looking into partnering with a good music streaming platform to create a playlist of the music rendered in the course of the worship experience.
He said this was neccesary to ensure it inspires more people later on as the worship experience would be held annually on Good Friday henceforth.
Speaking on plans for the worship experience, Neon Adejo revealed that the song lyrics for the worship experience were inspired by Pastor Peters’ series of preachings, serving as the foundation for most of the song renditions at the event.
