Description
Beyond its 1878 origins, the church functions as a center for community outreach alongside its gospel performances. During Saturday morning shows, singers take time to involve the audience, encouraging visitors to dance, clap, and join in discussions. Concerts are led by a funny choirmaster, with programming taking place on Saturday mornings as well as in the afternoon.
