Music Director: Allison Houston

I have been involved in music all my life.  Piano lessons, voice lessons, music theory lessons. Church choirs, school choirs, community choirs, Provincial and National Youth Choirs, professional choirs.

I was in Grad School at Arizona State University, when I realized that singing was the vehicle for me to find my voice, not just as a musician, but also as a person, as a soul. That is the power of singing. That is the power of music. That is the power of community focused on using our voices and our bodies to channel the Divine. Read more about Allison…

Choirs

Choristers perform both sacred and secular music for their own pleasure, and for the listening pleasure of the congregation. As well as Sunday worship support, BCUC's choirs provide further musical offerings by presenting concerts, just for fun, at Christmas and other times of the year. Approximately every two years, the church mounts a musical.
