About Us:

Revival: The Community

Revival: The Community is a new, informal singing circle for those who miss (or want to learn about) the old style of African American congregational singing that is less popular in our churches today.

Communal singing is a natural stress reliever and a great way to come together, have fun, and make friends!

This is a recreational singing circle dedicated to building community, serving/volunteering in the city, enjoying outings together, and celebrating the history of African American congregational faith traditions through music and study.

  • Community & Family Friendly.
  • No singing skills or music reading required!
