Gospel Choir

Are you prone to sudden outbursts of singing while in public? Do you find yourself swaying to music while getting ready for work? Do you enjoy upbeat, Gospel music? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, then you need to join the Gospel Choir. We're a fun-loving, exuberant choir who sings once a month during the Sunday morning worship services. Performing in the style of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, our repertoire ranges from traditional Gospel to more contemporary expressions of faith. No auditions are required - if you love to sing, you're in! Rehearsals are held monthly on the 2nd Thursday evening of each month.
