THE CHOIR

The Bethany Nazarene College A Capella Choir was first organized in 1938. Since that time it has made an annual tour of around 2,500 miles. Choir personnel are chosen by tryouts each fall. The choir is not limited to students from the Fine Arts Division, but is open to any student enrolled in the college who can meet the requirements. The choir is distinctly Christian in its beliefs and practices. The sole purpose of the choir is to present a program of sacred music with distinction, backed by vital Christian experience.
