Gospel recording artist and worship leader, Toluwani Odukoya, has announced a free Christmas worship gathering, Behold the King: A Christmas Worship Experience, scheduled for Saturday, 12 December 2026, at the National Theatre in Lagos, as the second edition of The Worship Project brings together worshippers for an evening of music, praise and thanksgiving.
The event will celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, offering attendees an opportunity to reflect on the significance of Christmas through collective worship and musical expressions of faith.
Organised as a free gathering, Behold the King is designed to bring together audiences who have followed Odukoya’s music and worship sessions online, giving them an opportunity to participate in a shared live experience.
The gathering will place particular emphasis on the spiritual meaning of Christmas, encouraging participants to look beyond the season’s festivities and reflect on the significance of Christ’s birth.
Through music, praise and adoration, the event is expected to create an atmosphere for thanksgiving, personal reflection and spiritual connection.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the gathering, Odukoya said the event was conceived as an opportunity for people to experience worship together beyond digital platforms.
“The heart behind this gathering is simple: to make room for us to behold Jesus together. So many of us have shared beautiful moments of worship through a screen, but there’s something special about coming together, lifting our voices in one room and celebrating the One who is the reason for the season. This Christmas, we’re inviting everyone to be part of that experience,” she said.
The announcement follows the inaugural edition of The Worship Project in May 2026, when Odukoya hosted Raising an Altar of Thanksgiving at the MUSON Centre in Lagos.
The first gathering was conceived as a live worship recording and a collective expression of gratitude, marking an important milestone in her development as a gospel recording artist and worship leader.
With the second edition, Odukoya is extending the initiative into the Christmas season, adopting a theme centred on the majesty of Christ and the significance of His birth.
Beyond her music ministry, Odukoya serves as Associate Senior Pastor of The Fountain of Life Church in Lagos. Her work as a recording artist and worship leader is focused on creating music and worship experiences that encourage spiritual reflection and a deeper relationship with God.
The choice of the National Theatre also places the gathering within one of Lagos’ prominent cultural venues, providing a setting for what organisers describe as a collective Christmas worship experience.
Admission to Behold the King: A Christmas Worship Experience is free, although advance registration is required.
The event will hold on Saturday, 12 December 2026, at the National Theatre, Lagos. Interested participants can register through the official website, www.ToluwaniOdukoya.org.
Further announcements and event updates are expected through Odukoya’s official communication platforms.
As preparations continue, the second edition of The Worship Project offers a Christmas gathering built around music, faith and collective thanksgiving, with an invitation to worshippers to celebrate the season by focusing on the message at its heart.
