The Lord's messenger, Ellen White, counsels the church of God to raise our sights in music.

"Music, when not abused, is a great blessing, but when it is put in wrong use, it is a terrible curse" "Rightly employed ...(music) is a precious gift of God, designed to uplift the thoughts to high and noble themes, to inspire and elevate the souls"

At United African Seventh-day Adventist Church, singing is as much an act of worship as is prayer. Heaven's communion begins on earth. Psalm 22:3 "Thou art Holy O Thou that inhabitest the praise of Israel"

Sacred/religious music should not evoke secular association or invite conformity to worldly behavioral patterns of thinking or acting.

We recognize and acknowledge the contributions of different cultures in worshiping God. It is therefore necessary to make a unique Adventist musical contribution as a witness to the world regarding a people awaiting Christ's soon coming.
