Each spring, ACCC organizes NKC for travel to a U.S.
city to perform.    This annual spring music tour fosters
an understanding of the different styles of gospel music
and the way it impacts the lives of people in different
places.

This opportunity is offered to active NKC members and
interested adults.   Fifth grade and younger can only
travel by special permission from the program director.  
 Fund raising opportunities are offered to help
individuals finance their trip.   

In order to offer an affordable price for the trip, we
host our annual Showtime Gospel Concert.

No! Kidding! Choir
Where Kids Are Winners
The SHOWTIME Gospel Music Clinic session begins Feb 3 09 and
results with our famous Showtime Gospel concert  scheduled this
season on April 24, 2009.  The clinic is an intense period of rehearsals,
performance instruction, prayer, and encouragement.   With the help
of our wonderful music team, we establish an irresistible environment
that demonstrates God’s amazing love and how His Word comes alive
in the various different styles of music.  We visualize the seeds planted
will begin to take root in the hearts of our youth.

Showtime originated in 1991 and has developed into a powerful
feature of the No! Kidding! Choir program.  It is our goal that each
child that participates where they will grow, discover, share, inspired,
and be blessed!

Through this experience, the NKC Kids will better understand
  • The NKC program's vision of spreading God’s amazing love
    through music and prayer
  • Learn that God’s Word comes alive in all the different styles of
    music and that gospel music can not be limited to traditional
    styles and rhythms
  • They will experience the joy, power, and peace that come from
    singing gospel music; and receive techniques to improve their
    vocal expression and stage presence.
The gospel clinic will feature
