The choir began as a youth musical and quickly became a permanent fixture in the gospel music scene, known for developing young talent and spreading the gospel through song. SEIC has a rich history of performances, recordings, and community outreach, including youth conferences and scholarships. The choir has been instrumental in launching the careers of numerous acclaimed gospel artists, most notably Yolanda Adams.
