Exaltation Music Ministry has been a vibrant and inspiring presence in gospel music for over four decades. Founded in 1983 through the union of two passionate groups—the Abingdon Youth Choir and the Lifeline Band—Exaltation has grown from humble beginnings into a dynamic ministry dedicated to uplifting hearts and voices in worship.
Under the visionary leadership of Pastor Andre Coetzer, with support from James and the late Joyce Sharpley, Exaltation was born to spread the gospel through music. Today, the ministry continues this mission under the guidance of David Claasen, a gifted, annointed gospel singer and songwriter, alongside his wife Pamela Claasen. As the only remaining original members, they faithfully carry forward the vision of nurturing talent, building community, and glorifying God through song.
In 2013, Exaltation Crew embarked on a life-changing journey to Portugal, where they mesmerized audiences in the enchanting cities of Lamego, Trivali, and Cascais.
Their soul-stirring performances left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who witnessed their passion and talent, making the experience a truly unforgettable one for both the group and their Portuguese fans.
