The Howard Gospel Choir of Howard University (HGC) is a body of students, alumni and members of the community from all over the world that are dedicated to using their gifts to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. As one of the first college gospel choirs, HGC is a trailblazer for all Gospel music ministries across collegiate campuses in the nation.
