Testimonial

"I remember my first KBC Children’s choir audition – my worship pastor recorded me singing “When I survey the Wondrous Cross” and sent it off. Each year after my acceptance, I looked forward to receiving my folder of music for the coming year’s choir."

Testimonial

"From the “dirty socks” and “whooping bird” warmups, to lunch conversations, to hours of singing each day, children’s choir remains a vibrant memory in my heart where I was encouraged to join with my peers to make music for the Lord."

Testimonial

"When I think back on my week with KBC’s Children's Choir, I’m flooded with gratitude for all the amazing rehearsal, performance, and worship leading experience that was packed in such a short time. Our directors and conductors were all outstanding!"

Testimonial

"The opportunity to be apart of a great choir is always rare, but I especially treasure those choral experiences that have a higher calling than just the music itself, and that’s what I came away with from KBC Children's Choir."
