A little about ourselves

The Hamilton Community Gospel Choir (HCGC) is a Christian community of faith in Hamilton, New Zealand, who loves to sing and harmonise together for our own and others spiritual encouragement and entertainment. Our choir’s repertoire includes music and song in the traditional gospel genre, but also embraces other contemporary gospel music which expresses Christian faith. 

The choir is overseen by a Trust Board, who along with a wider collaborative team provide leadership and direction for the choir’s activities. 

​The choir membership ranges between 45 to 60 singers who are passionate about what they do, volunteering their time, energy and talent for the benefit and enjoyment of the wider community.  The choir delight in sharing the joy of music and song wherever opportunity allows.  People in the choir have made lifelong friends and often consider choir members part of their extended family.

Current News

We have just completed two concerts in our 'Keeping it Local' Tour in Morrinsville & Matamata, and we had a great time, with wonderful audiences who seemed to appreciate and be blessed by offering.  We supported two great local charities with a koha donation at the door - 24/7 YouthWork in Morrinsville and Starfish Health & Wellbeing Centre in Matamata. 

We are working hard and expanding our repertoire, in preparation for our Annual Concert on the 14th September, 6:30-8:30pm at Clarence Street, but have some more local events along the way - check out our Events Calendar.

Have you been thinking about joining a choir, or more specifically joining the Hamilton Community Gospel Choir?  We would love to have you come and check us out at our practices on Tuesday nights, with a view to joining us.  Head on over to our Contact Us page and be in touch to let us know you are coming, or to seek more information.  We will soon have to close off for new members able to join us for our annual concert, but are open for you to come along and just enjoy singing with us.​
