One Accord Gospel Choir
The purpose of One Accord is to represent a significant foundation and profound institution of America’s musical community. We wish to provide an engaging and authentic environment that unites, fulfills, and connects, students who desire an outlet surrounding Gospel music and its culture. Although we are learning to how to sing, we desire to not just sing well, but also minister well through the songs that we sing to each other and everyone else that we come into contact with! We want our spaces to filled with God’s presence and to be able spread the gospel of Jesus Christ through the music we create. We shall be reflections of Christ both in and outside of our rehearsal space. Jesus is our mission and we are His voice!
