The Music Ministry of the Greater Refuge Temple continues to create the atmosphere for praise &worship.


Absolute Praise

Absolute Praise and Worship comes from the very being of an individual. It is reflective of their true selves, in adoration. (John 4:24). Praise is the self-sacrifice called for in our lives. And as we make that sacrifice unreservedly, it always leads to the blessing of worship.


Absolute Praise (the praise and worship ministry of Greater Refuge Temple, Buffalo, NY) first got together in January 1996. When the praise and worship ministry was first formed it was designed to give God all the glory and to incorporate a blend of traditional, contemporary, multi-cultural and original prophetic praise and worship songs.

APM strives to encourage each person in the congregation to get involved in the praise and worship experience, with the ultimate goal of abiding in the awesome presence of Almighty God. APM is determined to demonstrate that praise and worship should be exciting and up- lifting. Absolute Praise revels in the Lord, abide in the refreshment and renewing that comes from God’s awesome presence. APM recorded their first CD in 2001 entitled “Set the Stage that included 14 original songs. This CD was also packaged with a powerful message preached by Bishop Robert L. Sanders, Sr. It was Bishop Sander’s message that inspired the CD and the title song.
The Greater Refuge Temple Praise and Worship Choir

The Greater Refuge Temple Praise and Worship Choir formally the Cathedral Choir is really taking their ministry by storm. The choir continues to bless the congregation through every song they sing. There is a new burst of spiritual energy that cannot be denied. There is a collective effort to be more than a singer but a true worshiper.

The choir celebrated the years 2005 by recording their first CD live at our annual New Years Eve Service. This CD is a compilation of 14 tracks that will lock you into the very presence of God with every song. This CD has a mixture of genres to include traditional, contemporary, praise and worship ands dynamic instrumentals. This CD will take you from a shout of celebration to basking in the presence of the Lord.All the songs are original with exception of one were written by members of GRT. To God Be The Glory!
Sunbeam Choir

The Sunbeam choir consists of young people from four years to thirteen years old. The Sunbeam choir sings on second and fourth Sundays. These young people really know how to praise the Lord. Our Sunbeam sings very challenging songs for their age. Just to see and hear them minister brings the congregation to their feet.
