Looking ahead · Planned

More ways to keep
the hymns alive.

These are possibilities we want to develop with our readers. They are not launch features or promised release dates.

  1. 01

    More music, more context

    A broader collection of reviewed performances, with audio listening and recordings to explore in a future release.

  2. 02

    Hymns for shared moments

    Worship collections, choir practice tools and hymn communities that help people learn and sing together.

  3. 03

    More singing traditions

    Separate English, Igbo and other hymn archives, with their own identities and carefully reviewed links between related songs.

Built around the songs. Sustained by people.

Help write the next chapter.
