Rev. Dr. Yeside Odiase is a theologically trained christian musician and music minister with a focus on training and discipling God- called musicians: choristers, choir leaders and music ministers, to be skillful and theologically sound in music theory and practice.

Her vision is to fulfil the Master’s calling to impact lives through teaching, training and discipleship in line with Ephesians 4: 11-14, “_And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists and some Pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man to the measure of the stature of Christ_.” She is also motivated by the motto: “My best for the Master,” and passionate about raising gospel musicians and music ministers among Baptists and across denominational boundaries, thereby forging unity among Christian worshippers.

Yeside Odiase is married to Pastor Barrister Abraham Odiase and the marriage is blessed with biological and spiritual children.
