Our Story
Young Professionals. One Mission. One God.
The Worshippers Music Foundation began with a small gathering of young professionals who believed worship could change a room - and then a nation.
Who We Are
The Worshippers is a team of young professionals from all walks of life, united by a single purpose: relating men to God in worship via music.
We are not a church. We are not a music label. We are a movement.
A gathering of men and women who believe that one genuine encounter with the living God is enough to change everything.
We organise worship concerts and music seminars across the globe, where Christians and non-Christians alike come to express their hearts in simplicity and sincerity. We create space for people to encounter God in His manifest presence - setting aside denomination and tradition, and coming to Him in one accord.
People have been healed, delivered, and transformed in these rooms. Not by the music, not by the production - but by the God who shows up where hunger draws Him.
Our Mission
Relating men to God in worship via music.
Everything we do - every concert, every song, every gathering - exists to serve this one purpose. Worship is not a performance. It is a relationship. A lifelong falling in love with the Father, over and over again.
A Word from the Director
Worship Uncovers the Heart of the King
You will never be satisfied just to know about God. Really knowing God comes only through experience as He reveals Himself to you - and that is what happens when you spend time in the worship zone.
Henry Blackaby
Unconditional worship uncovers the heart of the King. It is our deepest desire to relate people from every nation to God in worship, and to see His kingdom established in our lives through it.
Worship, to us, is a lifelong relationship with the Father - a continual falling in love with Him, again and again.
I feel privileged to be the chief servant of this extraordinary team: young professionals from all walks of life who have, over the years, given their time and resources to the worship of our Lord. It has been a long journey from a small beginning, hosting our first worship concert in 2003. We have not looked back since.
Our prayer, our hearts, and our desire is to live for God in worship - and to see the nations worship as the Lord manifests His awesome presence in the midst of men.
Shalom.

The Story of the Polydipsia brand
The word "Polydipsia" comes from medicine - it describes a state of excessive, unrelenting thirst. For The Worshippers, it describes something far more personal: an unquenchable thirst for more of God.
The name was first adopted for our worship concert at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital in 2006. Since then, Polydipsia has become the defining brand of every concert we hold - a declaration of hunger, a refusal to settle for a form of religion that has no fire in it.
We believe God does not care what you can produce for Him. He is drawn to one thing: how desperately you want Him. Polydipsia worship concerts exist to create that atmosphere - where the hungry find what they are looking for, where those who are broken encounter the Father, and where no one leaves the same way they came in.
There is only one thing that stops Him: He will not pour out His Spirit where He doesn't find hunger.
