Celebrating more than 30 years of ministry together, The Master’s Four are recognized today as one of Canada’s leading gospel quartets.

The group was originally formed in 1985 at Unionville Alliance Church in Unionville, Ontario, Canada. Known in those days as “The Unionville Boys”, the quartet quickly gained a local following through appearances at Churches, banquets, conferences and community events throughout Southern Ontario.

As the ministry grew, the quartet was renamed “The Master’s Four”, reflecting their commitment to an expanded ministry and to the message of Grace and Hope that is engrained in their music. Today, the current members of The Master’s Four continue to touch hearts and lives with this message through their unique blend of traditional, contemporary and southern gospel music.

I was born and raised in Bulacan, Philippines, until moving to Canada at age 9. Before living in Hamilton, I spent many years in Burlington, Ontario and then moved to Chicago, IL, for further education. I’m a graduate of Moody Bible Institute with an undergrad in biblical exposition. I met and married my wife, Michaela, at Moody, and we moved to Hamilton in 2018. We get excited about spiritual formation, international food, and opening our home to others alongside our children, Trinity, Micah, and Kyrie— three of God’s sweetest gifts to us. I hope to spend my life practicing the way of Jesus with others as a bit of resistance to a fragmented society.

Yuta Seki moved to Georgetown at the beginning of 2017 to serve on staff at Maple Avenue Baptist Church. In his role, Yuta primarily oversees and leads the junior and senior high ministries and is also involved in other pastoral work at the church. His passion is for students to understand and see the wonders of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the significance of God’s Word for their lives.

Having been born into and raised in a non-Christian home, Yuta did not grow up attending church or hearing the gospel. While in his final year of high school, some friends invited Yuta out to their youth group, and it was through that ministry that Yuta encountered both the loving warmth of the Christians there and the saving message of Christ. Within a few months of attending that youth group, Yuta was radically saved, and his life has never been the same since.

Yuta completed his undergraduate studies at Canadian Baptist College in Cochrane, Alberta, and received further training at the Master’s Seminary in Los Angeles, California. During that time, he served in various capacities, with youth ministry being a particular focus.

Yuta is happily married to Alyssa, and they together have three wonderful sons, Noah, Luke, and Mark. He enjoys coffee, rugby, and books, in no particular order.

Kesavan was born in Sri Lanka. Due to rising concerns over the civil war, his family moved to Toronto in 1989. Kesavan has enjoyed playing soccer and basketball over the years. Right after high school, Kesavan pursued an IT program in college.

At the age of 19, Kesavan began to read the Bible just to get his mind off his own struggles. But God used that time to open his eyes to the reality of his own sin and the need for a Saviour. It was was here that the Gospel of grace saved him and redirected his life to know, enjoy, and glorify God in all things.

Years later, he was called to pursue a Theological education and earned his B.R.E at Tyndale University College & Seminary. He is married to his beautiful wife Viji, and they have a growing family of four kids, Josiah, Micah, Abigail, and Emily.

Kesavan has been serving in pastoral ministry since 2011. In July 2014, he was commissioned to plant Fellowship Church Rouge Park in the East end of Toronto. He longs to see people come to understand and believe in God’s plan to rescue fallen humanity, through the death & resurrection of Jesus Christ, so that His name and fame would spread in the GTA and beyond.
