Praise Choir is a group of christian vocalists, musicians, and community members who believe in the word of the Lord. We are from different churches, backgrounds, ethnicities, neighborhoods, and denominations. We believe there is strength and power when we unite in praise and give God glory. We know that we are flawed, but we serve one perfect God through Christ Jesus. We believe we were created
with gifts to use for His glory, and we fully intend to do so and expand the kingdom of God through our perfect example, Jesus Christ. We are unapologetically bold for Christ, AND we will bless His Holy Name! It is our mission to gather with diversity, believers for the purpose of uniting in praise through song, using are God given gifts to inspire communities, families, and artist to praise united while breaking down walls of racism, cultural norms of division, and traditions of men. The most segregated hour in America is Sumday morning. As the United Praise founder, we will bridge belivers from the Quad City area and mix christian music styles with a theatrical approach to our concerts while appreciating all the chtistian cultural styles of its members.
