RIVERBEND COMMUNITY GOSPEL CHOIR
ABOUT THE CHOIR
15 years ago, Sheila Goins was approached by Greg Gelzinnis to form a multi denominational gospel choir to perform for a community venue held at Rock Springs Park called A Celebration of Music. Sheila accepted the challenged and reached out to all the churches within the Riverbend community and the response was incredible. Over 33 churches of diverse denominations came out to rehearse together as one voice and one choir.in the year of 2002, the membership was close to 200 members!
"Man cannot cancel what God has ordained."
Unfortunately, the event, A Celebration of Music was cancelled, Sheila felt that God had formed this choir for the mission to exemplify unity within the community. The choir continued to minister throughout the community and to date, is still together and has recorded their very first gospel CD, "He Lives."
