Organized by The Celestial Media Team, the event featured an insightful keynote address and teaching by Evangelist Korede Ogunmola, who emphasized the function of purpose, content, and expectation in media ministry.

"The God-given mandate to Papa Oshoffa is to bring people to the true worship of God and salvation through Jesus Christ. This is our mission. To fulfill it globally—beyond culture and tribe—media is key," said Evangelist Ogunmola.
Venerable Superior Evangelist Elijah Bello, Shepherd-in-Charge of the host parish, encouraged CCC media practitioners and creative volunteers to serve God and the Church with sincerity and dedication, reminding them of the divine calling upon their work.

The Bible speaks extensively about worship, emphasizing its importance as a central aspect of the believer's relationship with God. Here are some key points from Scripture:
In John 4:24, Jesus teaches that true worship is not confined to a particular place but should be done "in spirit and truth." This means worship should be sincere, with a heart that genuinely seeks God, and it should align with God's revealed truth.

Psalm 100 reads;
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
