In part one of this article, we looked at how gospel music and Christian filmmaking have crossed paths over the years, from the Mount Zion era to the musical movie Under Siege, which featured Greatman Takit, Gaise Baba and Mike Abdul.

But the story doesn’t end there.

Take Sunmisola Agbebi, for example.

Many people know her primarily as a worship minister, but she also stepped into the world of Christian film through Abattoir. In Season 5, Sunmisola played the role of a lawyer, alongside her husband, Yinka Okeleye, who also appeared in the series.

Then there is Prinx Emmanuel, who took the idea beyond simply appearing in someone else’s production.

In 2025, the AfroGospel artist released In Cycles, a faith-based film centred on temptation, compromise, spiritual battles and redemption. Prinx also composed the soundtrack. The film was eventually made available through his YouTube channel, giving his audience another way to experience his storytelling beyond music.

And this is where YouTube has changed the game.

Gospel artists no longer have to wait for a major cinema production before experimenting with acting and filmmaking. Christian creators can produce stories for online audiences, while singers and ministers can bring their existing audiences into these projects.

We’ve also seen newer gospel names such as BBO and Paul Tomisin appear in Christian creative spaces beyond their usual music releases, showing how increasingly connected music, ministry and digital storytelling have become.

Then came Agbara Nla: The Return.

The 2026 remake of the Mount Zion classic arrived in cinemas 33 years after the original, bringing the story to a new generation with Gaise Baba having a cameo in it. The film opened in October and reportedly generated ₦70 million from 12,134 admissions during its single-day preview period.

From Mount Zion classics to musical films, YouTube productions and cinema releases, one thing is becoming clear: gospel artists are not restricted to the stage or recording booth.

Some are writers. Some are actors. Some are filmmakers. Some are doing all three.

And perhaps that is the most interesting part. The gospel creative space is getting bigger, and music is only one part of the story.
