Shillong, November 12: The Khasi Jaintia Presbyterian Assembly (KJP Assembly) has announced that preparations are in full swing for the upcoming gospel concert featuring world-renowned Christian music group Maverick City Music, scheduled to be held at Polo Grounds, Shillong, on December 12, 2026.
The concert is being organised solely by the KJP Assembly to raise funds for its various humanitarian projects, which are aimed at benefiting the general public, particularly people from marginalised sections of society.
According to the KJP Assembly, apart from its primary purpose of worship, the event also seeks to promote brotherhood and peace among communities in Meghalaya, especially as people prepare for the Christmas season.
The Assembly expressed hope that devotional events of this nature would help bring young people closer to the values of faith, virtue and responsibility at a time when the state is facing various social challenges, including the growing problem of drug addiction among youth.
KJPA Administrative Secretary Rev. S. Diengngan said that the concert would not only spiritually bless those attending but would also benefit thousands of needy people through the proceeds generated from the event.
Alongside Grammy Award-winning Maverick City Music from Atlanta, Georgia, USA, the concert will feature several local Christian artistes and music ministries, including Mane Music Ministry, Amazaiah, Ka Sur na Nongkyndong and El King. Standing choirs from the three Synods within the KJP Assembly will also participate in the programme.
Tickets for the concert have been categorised into three sections: Silver at ₹1,000, Gold at ₹2,500 and Patron’s Lounge at ₹10,000.
Tickets are available online through rockskitickets.com, while offline ticket outlets will also be opened in Shillong, Jowai, Nongstoin, Nongpoh, Mairang, Khliehriat, Sohra, Pynursla and other smaller towns to facilitate people wishing to purchase tickets physically.
The organisers have appealed to churches, pastors and church leaders to encourage their members, particularly youth, women and men, to participate in the programme.
Another prominent church leader, Rev. G.S. Lyttan, expressed hope that public support for the event would become a blessing to many, adding that those attending would have a memorable and spiritually enriching experience.
The KJP Assembly stated that the proceeds from the concert would help strengthen its ongoing projects, expand services for the poor and contribute towards building a caring community in accordance with biblical teachings.
The programme will include performances by the standing choirs of KJP Synod Sepngi, Ri Bhoi Synod, KJP Synod Mihngi and KJP Synod Pdeng, besides Jesus Calls, Amazaiah, Mane Music Ministry, El King and Ka Sur na Nongkyndong, before the headline performance by Maverick City Music.
