CHOSEN: A Night of Worship this Friday at Emmanuel Baptist Church

Posted on by

A moment to renew, reconnect & to reach those in need of spiritual healing

(Louisville, KY) Author, entrepreneur & community leader Dr, Ashley Cham is personally inviting you to a night of spiritual healing. The CHOSEN Ministry presents CHOSEN: A Night of Worship on Friday, April 10, 2026, at 7:00 pm at Emmanuel Baptist Church located at 3815 W. Broadway. Doors will open at 6:30pm. Admission is free but accepting offering.

The following have graciously agreed to be a part of the program: Tamecka Kinnard-Outten, Lyric Mullins, Johnathan Johnson, Chanson Calhoun Bellamy, Jarrell White and Ministries of Christ. Minstrels participating will be Darnell Craig, Jarius Jones, Curtis Jones II and Jordan Allen.

The evening will be filled with a night of ministry featuring faith leaders from all over the city of Louisville. Dr. Cham says ‘I chose these psalmists to be a part of this vision of meeting people where they are. These leaders work in the community and in their congregation. They have their pulse on the city and what it needs currently. I want people to come to leave their worries at the altar, open their minds and hearts, and take in the messages being delivered. Then I am asking them to receive and share with those around them. There’s so much noise around us right now. This event is about clarity, and I invite the community to come and worship with us.”

The CHOSEN Ministry is the vision of Dr. Cham after the release of her latest book CHOSEN Jewels From Queen Esther’s Crown. It was created to help awaken women to their own potential and inspire all of us to create positive change in the world around us.

Free tickets for the event can be found on Eventbrite. Here’s a link for you to share with your viewers, CHOSEN: The Encounter — A Night of Worship Tickets, Friday, Apr 10 from 7 pm to 9 pm | Eventbrite

Mt. Olive has a rich history which dates back 124 years.  The founders of this great church wanted to worship together so they gathered in a small house.  Today, Mt. Olive is located on several acres on East Kentucky which also houses our family life center.
