Foundation:

The United Voices of Christ gospel choir was founded on the campus of South Carolina State University on November 4, 1991, by students Vanessa Williams, Derek Evans, and Kenneth Windham.

The Name:

The name United Voices of Christ was adopted by choir members who saw the need for all to be united as "one body in Christ." Which where we get our choir scripture as well "Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace" Ephesians 4:3.

Purpose:

Our members are dedicated to the perpetuation of praising God through melodious songs of Zion. The choir continues to be beneficial to the overall growth of South Carolina State University as they endeavor to spread salvation, healing, joy and deliverance to each and everyone who is blessed to hear them.

Competitions:

There is a competition sponsored by the Black Music Caucus of New York, a music education organization that is dedicated to the promotion of gospel music in education.
