Selah Gospel Choir (SGC) was founded in 2007 as a haven for people who want to sing high-quality gospel music, but are either unable to find it in their own churches or do not identify with being in a church at all. SGC is a non-auditioned secular community choir based in Pasadena, CA. Our vibrant and fun ensemble strives to remain authentic to traditional roots and contemporary forms of Black gospel music. We are diverse, both racially and generationally, and wholly inclusive of those who identify as straight, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, gender-fluid, gender-queer, and everything in between. SGC is a safe place where all are welcomed and shown respect despite our many differences.
