Our Story

More than
a choir.

Ablaze is a youth-driven worship movement, content engine, and cultural brand — born out of United Christian Faith Ministries in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and growing into one of the most distinct voices in youth gospel today.

Origin

From rehearsal floor
to viral stage.

Ablaze Youth Choir is a dynamic, spirit-led movement of young voices committed to igniting a generation for Christ through bold, expressive worship.

"We're not just building songs. We're building a movement that reflects the heart of God and the sound of a generation rising."

Rooted in purpose and fueled by passion, Ablaze blends gospel, urban influence, and contemporary sounds to create music that is both culturally relevant and spiritually transformative.

Emerging from United Christian Faith Ministries, Ablaze has captured attention with viral moments, high-energy performances, and a growing digital presence that resonates with youth and families alike.

More than a choir, Ablaze is a mission. Each song is designed to inspire identity, spark faith, and create authentic worship experiences that extend beyond the stage into everyday life.
