The All Pilgrims Choir
The All Pilgrims Christian Church Choir consists of professional and amateur singers who enjoy preparing a wide variety of repertoire for weekly worship. From Spirituals and Gospel to World Music and Bach Cantatas, the choir’s primary role is to lead the congregation in song.

The choir season runs throughout the academic year, beginning in late August and ending in early June. We often prepare major works for choir and brass or orchestra for special services and events. We also frequently join with our colleagues at neighboring churches for choral festivals and concerts.

Although there is no formal audition process, you are invited to talk with Ryan Dye about joining the choir. We are always looking for singers who like to work hard in a team-oriented environment.
