The earliest forms of music in CAC were accompanied with drums, gongs and other percussion instruments — the most readily available at the time.
These simplest forms of instruments were used in traditional religious ceremonies as known to the Yoruba nation among which the church originated. There were no notations or formal writing of the music. Its sounds can only be extrapolated from the music of the indigenous Africans that strictly adhered to some of the ancient religious practices.
The formation of the defunct United Association of CAC Choirs was a significant landmark in the history of CAC choir and one major achievement of this group.

1975
The Choir is undoubtedly one of the oldest departments that has grown with the Church over the years. The Choir ministry started in Olatunji Ige Street, Ketu in 1975. The Choir executive was headed by the first Choirmaster, Brother J. Ola Osunkoya (now Pastor). He also served in various departments of the Church such as Sunday School, Ushering, Evangelical and Interpreters Departments before he eventually cleaved to the Choir Department for ease of operation. He did that passionately before he was called into full-time ministry in 1997.
THE PRESENT LEADERSHIP
Headed by Elder Joshua Kupoluyi, assisted by the following council members
Aside from these, most of the past members of the choir are doing great exploits in their ministries. Some have become founders, and pastors, and are serving in different vocations/professions in Nigeria and overseas. Many of the members have become notable gospel artists and a few renowned gospel artists have also tapped from covenant operating upon the Church — including Evangelist Dunni Olanrewaju and Evangelist Esther Igbekele, among others.
