Gospel Choir
The focus of the choir is to minister all styles of Gospel Music in an atmosphere that celebrates diversity. This multicultural group continues to be a positive and spiritual influence in the community as well as on campus.
The Biola Gospel Choir was established in the Fall of 1985. This energetic group was organized with a sincere desire to praise and worship the Lord through the medium of Gospel Music. The Gospel Choir has released one album and was featured on two additional albums, produced by the Gospel Choir Fellowship. The Gospel Choir Fellowship is a mass choir combining other college and university Gospel Choirs.
The Biola Gospel Choir's performances have included ministering at the Sa Rang Community Church Complex's grand opening, performing for the city of La Mirada, the La Mirada Performing Arts center, Universal Studio's annual city Walk Christmas celebration, the Los Angeles Salvation army, and a Mother's day concert at the Crazy Horse Restaurant in Irvine's Spectrum.
The Choir has also been featured at the Heritage Music Foundation's annual conference, under the direction of Dr. Margaret Pleasant Douroux, an internationally known gospel composer and evangelist. In addition, the choir was blessed to tour in Las Vegas, Nevada, culminating with a performance at the Gospel Music Workshop of America's Board Meeting. This international workshop is host to some of the greatest gospel music artists from around the world.
For those interested, the choir meets weekly on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 pm in Calvary Chapel.

A timid, shy, maybe-I- shouldn't-hug-you hug from Naoko. And then there's Sister Levy. There's no escaping her almost-too-long hugs, the exchange-of-energy hugs that she gives each of us who surrenders to her motherly embrace. These are Gospel hugs..." Read more
