In the early days, a group of Chinese Christians met every Sunday to worship at the Bradford Memorial Church. As the congregation grew, the church choir was formed to serve Cebu Gospel Church especially during worship to prepare the hearts and open the souls to the presence of God through music.

With the completion of the construction of Cebu Gospel Church in Osmena Blvd., the church choir led by our talented conductor, Ms. Hattie Yu continued to bring music to the hearts and souls of the congregation.

The Cebu Gospel Church choir, made up of diverse age groups, continued to come together to make music and prepared the hearts and minds of the congregation to listen to the word of God.
