Church Choir

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him." (Psalms 28:7)

From time immemorial, musical worship has been a vital aspect of glorifying God. Role of the choir in leading worship is to help our church sing together and experience the presence of God. Leading the congregation in hymns and prayers is absolutely essential for worship, since praise is much desired by God. The choir at St. Gregorios Indian Orthodox Cathedral is a dedicated group of talented individuals who lead the congregation in the Holy Qurbana liturgical proceedings.
