Join the Choir
Voices In Praise, Men's Choir, and Children's Choir are open to all students who desire to sing, make the commitment to the group, and follow the guidelines for participation. Singers are not required to be a member of any church or to have any background in singing. The choirs of VIP are open to everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or gender identity. VIP promotes a culture of tolerance, respect, and kindness, and expects all singers and parents to do the same.
Contact us if you have any questions.
