Choristers Guild’s mission statement is “Enabling Leaders to Nurture the Musical and Spiritual Growth of Children, Youth, and Adults” with the goal to develop the artistic, creative, and spiritual nature of people of all ages. The organization's events are held to inspire and empower musicians via in-person and online events for education and training.
