Church LED Screen Case Study: Hoares Memorial Methodist Cathedral, Yaba, Lagos
A real church LED display project in Lagos Mainland: four indoor LED screens — two 3.2 m × 2.4 m and two 1.92 m × 0.96 m — supplied by LegidaTech, LED screen manufacturer, to Hoares Memorial Methodist Cathedral at 321 Herbert Macauley Road, Sabo Yaba, Lagos.
Project at a Glance
About Hoares Memorial Methodist Cathedral
Hoares Memorial Methodist Cathedral is a well-known Methodist church in Sabo, Yaba — a busy, central part of Lagos Mainland. The cathedral stands at 321 Herbert Macauley Road, Yaba, Lagos, one of the major roads running through this part of the city, a short distance from the Yaba commercial and education district.
Churches in this area hold large, regular congregations, and the sanctuary is sized to match. When the cathedral set out to improve the way worship content is presented — hymn lyrics, scripture, sermon notes and video — it added church LED screens rather than traditional projection. This case study documents the four displays supplied for the project.
The LED Displays: 4 Screens in 2 Sizes
The project combined two display sizes to cover different viewing needs inside the same hall:
3.2 m × 2.4 m — Main Displays
2 sets of 3.2 m × 2.4 m indoor LED displays, each about 7.68 m². A screen of this size stays readable from the back rows of a large sanctuary — the workhorse screens for lyrics, scripture and video during services.
1.92 m × 0.96 m — Companion Displays
2 sets of 1.92 m × 0.96 m indoor LED displays, each about 1.84 m². The compact 2:1 format suits supplementary viewing positions where a full-size screen is not needed — close to the altar area or side sections.
Together the four screens provide roughly 19 square metres of LED display area. The on-site media below shows the displays suspended from the ceiling structure and mounted on the walls of the worship hall.
Why LED Displays Suit a Large Church Hall
For a sanctuary of this scale, LED displays have several practical advantages over projectors and monitors:
- Bright enough without dimming the lights — LED screens keep lyrics and video clearly visible even in a well-lit church, so the congregation can read without the hall being darkened.
- Wide viewing angles — people seated at the sides or under a balcony still see a crisp image, which matters in wide Nigerian church halls.
- One screen for every format — hymn lyrics, sermon notes, event announcements, and live camera video all run on the same display without switching equipment.
- Long service life, low upkeep — quality indoor LED cabinets run for years with minimal maintenance, an important factor for churches that plan a purchase once.
These are the same reasons churches across Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and other Nigerian cities have been moving from projection to LED — and why the cathedral in Yaba chose this route.

Choosing an LED Screen Supplier for Nigeria
Nigerian churches buying an LED display usually compare local resellers with factory-direct suppliers. The key difference is the supply chain: a reseller adds a margin on top of the factory price, while buying from the LED screen manufacturer directly keeps the price at the source and gives you direct technical support on configuration, control systems and spare modules.
LegidaTech designs and manufactures indoor and outdoor LED displays and ships them worldwide — including to Lagos and across Nigeria. The Hoares Memorial Methodist Cathedral project is a working example of that route: four displays, two sizes, specified around the cathedral’s hall and delivered into service in Yaba, Lagos.

Church LED Screen Buying Checklist for Nigerian Churches
If your church in Lagos or elsewhere in Nigeria is planning an LED display, these are the questions a supplier should work through with you before quoting:
- Viewing distance — measure from the screen position to the back row. This drives pixel pitch: indoor church LED screens in Nigeria are typically built at P2–P4, with finer pitches for close viewing.
- Screen size and quantity — as the Hoares Memorial project shows, many sanctuaries pair large main screens with smaller companion screens rather than one giant display. This covers the altar area and side sections at a lower total cost.
- Mounting method — ceiling suspension keeps sight lines clear above the congregation; wall mounting is simpler where the structure allows it. Both styles appear in the on-site media in this case study.
- Control system — the sending and receiving cards and software that drive the content: lyrics, video, live camera feeds. A factory-matched system avoids compatibility problems during setup.
- Spares and support — confirm spare modules and remote support are part of the order, so any damaged module can be swapped in minutes instead of waiting for a new shipment.
- Delivery to Nigeria — clarify shipping to Lagos port and onward transport to your church location before ordering, so the delivery schedule is clear from day one.
Churches across Lagos Mainland, Lagos Island and other Nigerian states use this same checklist when they buy from LegidaTech — and the result is a screen that fits the hall, the budget and the way your services actually run.
FAQ — Church LED Screens in Lagos & Nigeria
How much does a church LED screen cost in Lagos, Nigeria?
The price of a church LED screen in Nigeria depends mainly on screen size, pixel pitch, cabinet design and shipping to Lagos. Buying factory-direct from an LED screen manufacturer removes distributor markups, which is usually the biggest saving. Request a quote with your viewing distance and hall dimensions, and the manufacturer will recommend the most cost-effective configuration.
What size LED screen does a church need?
Screen size is chosen from the seating distance. As a rule of thumb, 1 metre of viewing distance needs roughly 4–6 mm of pixel pitch, and the screen should be large enough to read from the back row. The Lagos project in this case study used two 3.2 m × 2.4 m screens plus two 1.92 m × 0.96 m screens — a practical reference for a mid-to-large sanctuary.
Should a church LED screen be wall-mounted or hung from the ceiling?
Both methods are common. Ceiling-hung screens work well when sight lines must stay clear above the congregation, while wall-mounted screens suit flat walls near the altar or stage. The photos in this Lagos case study show both mounting styles in use at Hoares Memorial Methodist Cathedral.
Does LegidaTech deliver LED screens to Lagos and other Nigerian states?
Yes. LegidaTech is an LED screen manufacturer that ships worldwide, including Lagos and other states in Nigeria. The Hoares Memorial Methodist Cathedral project at 321 Herbert Macauley Road, Yaba, Lagos is a recent example of LegidaTech displays delivered and in service in Nigeria.
Is the Hoares Memorial Methodist Cathedral project real?
Yes. The project is documented with on-site photos and video stills captured in August 2026 at Hoares Memorial Methodist Cathedral, 321 Herbert Macauley Road, Sabo Yaba, Lagos. The media shows the four LED displays in the cathedral.
Which pixel pitch is best for an indoor church LED screen?
Indoor church LED screens typically use P2 to P4 pitch. P2–P2.5 suits close viewing or small screens such as a 1.92 × 0.96 m unit, while P3–P4 is usually enough for a large 3.2 × 2.4 m screen viewed from several metres away. The right pitch balances budget against viewing distance.
How do you maintain a church LED screen in Lagos?
Indoor LED screens need little routine maintenance: keep the installation area well ventilated, protect the modules from impact, and clean dust from the surface occasionally with a dry, soft cloth. Front-service cabinets allow single modules to be replaced quickly if one is ever damaged.
