The mission of the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir is to inspire joy and unity
among all people through Black Gospel and Spiritual Music traditions.
Since 1986, anyone who wants to sing Black Gospel music has been welcome here.
We teach the Black Gospel tradition at the root of American music, from The Town where it crossed into the mainstream.
Today, we're 500 singers and dozens of musicians across 10 ensembles, ages 5 to 95, from every background,
learning and performing, creating community, and experiencing joy… together.
“If this choir is my way of demonstrating what this country should look like, then I’ll stay in it as long as I have a voice to sing.”
– Sharon Hymes-Offord, Alto
