The Arcata Interfaith Gospel Choir (AIGC), is community-based interfaith group of adult vocalists who share a love of Black Gospel Music. They have been in existence for 18 years. From year to year the choir consists of a varying number of vocalists (usually around 80 adults), a director Jim Hubbard and accompanists.
The Arcata Interfaith Gospel Choir presented the 19th annual Community Prayer Breakfast and Gospel Concert on Sunday, May 2, 2010 at the Arcata Community Center.
The event featured lively and inspiring singing by the Arcata Interfaith Gospel Choir with special guests, The Oakland Interfaith Youth Gospel Choir (OIYGC), directed by Terrance Kelly. The principal purpose of the AIGC is:
To acknowledge the inspiration of Black Gospel Music to express its power of Spirit and Creation.
To bring a message of faith, hope, love and joy to our community and the world.
To exemplify through interfaith, multi-racial and multi-cultural membership the principles of equality, justice, peace, unity and cooperation.
To enable our human family to experience community in fellowship, celebrating unity in diversity through our music.
