KITCHISSIPPI UNITED CHURCH MUSIC PROGRAM
The Kitchissippi Choir
Music is an integral part of the worship experience at Kitchissippi United and plays an important role within our church community. At the heart of Kitchissippi’s music program is our talented and dedicated choir, led by our music director Gavan Quinn. In addition to singing hymns, anthems and other choral offerings at Sunday services, our choir presents music at special events throughout the year, including contemplative evening services, Christmas concerts, fundraising events and carol singing within the local community.
