The Origin of C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan

The formation of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan is a story of vision, initiative, and divine orchestration—a story that highlights the importance of purpose-driven ministry in the church. The choir was born out of an urgent need identified by the Good Women Association: the need for a central choir to bridge gaps left by host church choirs during the Association’s rotational conventions.

The C.A.C. Good Women Association holds yearly conventions, rotating the hosting responsibilities among different churches across the country. Reports at the time indicated that, during these conventions, host churches were often reluctant or unable to handle the music and praise segments effectively, particularly for special renditions. This inconsistency became a concern for the Association’s leadership, as music and worship were central to the spiritual impact of the conventions.

To address this challenge, the leadership of the C.A.C. Good Women Association in Ibadan and its surrounding district decided to establish a central choir that could serve at conventions regardless of location. This visionary decision marked the beginning of what would become a legacy of excellence, spiritual influence, and gospel music leadership.

In 1975, a formal message was sent out to all C.A.C. churches in the Ibadan district. Each church was requested to nominate two married women who had a passion for gospel music to be enlisted into the Association’s choir. The response was overwhelming, with a large number of women stepping forward to offer their voices and talents for the ministry. These women were carefully selected not only for their musical abilities but also for their commitment to Christian service.

The criteria for enlistment were specific: the woman had to be married, her husband had to be a member of C.A.C., and the husband was required to provide a written consent letter allowing his wife to participate in the choir. This approach ensured that members were fully supported both spiritually and practically, creating a strong foundation for unity and purpose within the group.

From these beginnings, the Association Choir gradually evolved into what is now known as the C.A.C. Good Women Central Choir Ibadan, under the inspired leadership of Mrs. D.A. Fasoyin. Under her guidance, the choir has grown beyond its initial purpose, producing numerous albums and videos that continue to bless lives across Nigeria and beyond. The choir’s music ministry has become a source of inspiration, spiritual encouragement, and cultural preservation, blending indigenous rhythms with timeless gospel melodies.

Mrs. Fasoyin’s leadership has also ensured that the choir remains relevant to contemporary worship while maintaining the integrity and mission envisioned at its founding. All of her albums and videos are accessible online through various digital platforms, allowing gospel lovers worldwide to experience the choir’s ministry.

From humble beginnings in 1975 to its present-day status as a celebrated choir, the story of the C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan reminds us that when passion and purpose meet, extraordinary things can happen for the glory of God.
