Jehovah Shalom Youth Choir and Band is a dynamic musical group made up of a variety of vocalists and instrumentalists.

Jehovah Shalom's passion is to glorify and praise God. Our name comes from the Bible, and it means "the Lord is Peace" (Judges 6:24). We strive to worship God, enjoy group fellowship, encourage other choir members and listeners, challenge ourselves, have fun and spread joy, build musical excellence, give the Gospel (the good news of Christ), outreach to others, learn about God, and foster God-honoring relationships between people.

Jehovah Shalom enjoys exploring a variety of musical styles, from contemporary to traditional kinds of songs about God.
