Per.3

Brooklyn Tabernacle

Directed by Carol Cymbala

She is the wife of the senior pastor Jim Cymbala and the daughter of the church founder, the late Rev. Clair Hutchins. She Doesn’t know how to write music but says “The good Lord has given me the gift to create and direct music through the holy sprit.”

They view one another as brother and sister. The choir starts each practice with a prayer asking the lord to bless their music and anoint their songs for the service.

The choir is a mixture of ethnic and economic

background.

After 25 years of recording and live performances, the Lord continues to use the Choir to carry the message of the Gospel around the world.

Pastor Jim Cymbala says “None of us would have

met if it weren’t for Christ. Our backgrounds are

diverse but we have things in common, we have been

saved and lifted up.”

The choir consists of 285 people.They have recorded three videos, three DVD’s, and numerous albums that won six Grammy Awards.

The Choir’s latest album project is entitled "Declare Your Name". Their concert venues in New York City have included Carnegie

Hall, Radio City Music Hall, the Paramount Theater,

and a sold-out performance at the Madison Square Garden Theater. “I just

want to see people drawn to Jesus Christ,” Carol

Cymbala says, “I want the music to be the arrow that

points them to Him.”
