Gérald Cius - Portrait of a cantor in the service of faith and the family

Gérald Cius does not really like to be described as an “artist” in the usual sense of the term. Above all, he considers himself a servant, a brother among others, whose voice and the ministry want to be simple instruments to make glory to God. Between Haiti and Boston, it testifies to a faith rooted in hope and nourished by a life of prayer, a path where the Gospel intertes itself on music, family and community engagement.

Born in Haiti in a Catholic family, Gérald discovers very young the richness of the scriptures through the evangelical conversion of his mother. This double belonging – both marked by the Catholic tradition and the evangelical impulse – opens with him a deep look at faith. As a child and then a teenager, he receives his Catholic baptism, and very early on, the family dynamic guides him towards evangelical faith. His years of youth are marked by prayer, singing and service in the church and the community.

First steps in music (2005 – 2009)

In 2005 and 2006, Gérald Cius participated in competitions and shows on channel 5, Telemax, in Haiti. These experiences are not only artistic windows, but real learning stages, where his voice becomes above all a tool of testimony rather than a career project.

During the competition Ticketmaxit is distinguished by obtaining second place with an evangelical choir. Following this fulfillment, the choir Praise Gospel is invited to participate in the festival Mad music. At that time, there was not yet an evangelical chapter in the event, which made Gérald one of the sources of inspiration which subsequently contributed to the integration of this component. Thanks to this opening, many Gospel groups were able to share their talent and their faith on this same scene.

In 2008–2009, he joined the group Unity. This step confirms that beyond music, his true appeal is to serve God. This collective journey helps him grow, both vocal and spiritual.

For several years in Haiti, Gérald accompanied young people, supervises groups and choirs, and participated in various musical projects. These years forge his role as a trainer, anxious to transmit more than to shine.

Exile and implantation in Boston

With its migration to Boston, its trajectory takes on a new dimension. This passage is marked by family challenges, sacrifices and a necessary adaptation. First simple faithful within the community, it is gradually recognized as a pastor. In a mainly Haitian assembly, he built bridges between generations and cultures. Here again, singing and preaching are held together, serving families in search of hope.

Family and ministry

Born on August 9, 1985, Pastor Gérald Cius was married to Bernanda Cius and father of two children: Bernamos Gérald Cius and Yohan Eliakim Cius. His ministry is first lived at the heart of the family, in the simplicity of a life where faith, music and communion mingle naturally.

From a young age, Gérald says he often sought to flee his pastoral call, because he saw himself above all as a musician. In Haiti, he has long collaborated with theChurch on the Rocher de Delmas. But when Pastor Garry St Hubert invited him to follow a biblical training, he lost interest and moved away from this perspective. However, several voices, including Bishop Sem Célestin, continued to confirm that a call was based on his life. These words ended up transforming his gaze and his way of considering the ministry.
