About Us

Soulful gospel. Real community. Forever joyful.

Renewal Choir is a Bristol-based gospel choir bringing joyful, community-rooted warmth with a professional, concert-grade presentation — from public celebrations and corporate events to weddings, worship moments, and community projects.

Guiding Scripture

Romans 12:2

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will - NIV Version.”

This verse anchors our identity as a gospel choir — renewal from the inside out, expressed in worship, excellence, and service.

Social Objectives

How we live out our mission together

These objectives shape our choir culture — what we build internally, and what we contribute externally. Each one includes a simple example of how it looks in real life.

Developing healthy relationships among choir members

We aim to be a community where people feel safe, valued, and supported — on and off the stage.

Example: A new member joins feeling nervous. Their section lead checks in, introduces them to others, and after rehearsal a small group stays behind to encourage them and help them settle in.

Engage with opportunities to influence and promote social justice

We use our platform to support causes and conversations that build dignity, fairness, and hope.

Example: We accept an invitation to sing at an awareness event, then use our socials to amplify the partner organisation’s message — helping attendees connect to practical ways to get involved.

Encouraging the development of educational, personal, musical and vocational skills

We believe participation should help people grow — confidence, discipline, musicianship, and transferable skills.

Example: A member wants to improve their harmony and stage presence. They join a short skills clinic, receive a practice guide, and later volunteer on a project team to build leadership and organisation skills.

Encourage members and others to appreciate the mission of the choir by providing…

We help people understand why we exist — not only what we sing, but what we stand for.

Example: Before a concert, the compere shares a 60-second story about the purpose behind a song set, and we invite the audience to connect with a community partner we’re supporting that evening.
