Ontario Christian Choir - OCC

Ontario Christian Choir - OCC OCC provides an opportunity for highschool students from across the province to gather for a weekend of rehearsal, fellowship, and friendship.

The Ontario Christian Choir (OCC) invites high school students to form a choir of mixed voices under the directorship of Dr. Chris Teeuwsen. High school students from across Ontario will be coming together from Thursday afternoon to Saturday evening to learn choral music and to grow together through group devotions, games, communal meals, Coffee House, and making a joyful noise unto the Lord. The

weekend concludes with a concert on Saturday evening to which friends and family are warmly invited. The choral pieces the students have mastered over the weekend are the main feature of the concert, together with selected performances from the Friday evening Coffee House. The weekend is typically at the end of April, with the current location being Brantford, Ontario. The weekend is organized by a committee of dedicated volunteers who look after all the details, from training the male and female leaders to selecting the music for the choir, from arranging billets to preparing snacks and meals. Students are placed in groups which are led by young Christian adults, who guide the devotions, motivate the group activities, and serve as godly examples for male and female students. Look for updates on this page as well as more details on the OCC website.

A hush falls over the fellowship hall. The scent of hairspray, deodorant and a hint of pizza wafts in the air. The door opens and you walk down the aisle to the front of the church. You spot your family but resist the urge to wave. Standing at the front you are a sea of Jade and black (and I'm certain I see some grey jeans in there that someone's trying to hide from Dr.T). He raises his baton and the pianist plays a haunting chord. Already your newly awakened instincts want to sway? and move? What is this???? But you can't help it! It's your favourite song in a different language...BABA YETU!!!!

This is from the finale concert of the Ontario Christian Choir (OCC) on May 11, 2019 in Brantford, Ontario. Directed by Dr. Chris Teeuwsen.

Ladies, there is nothing quite like a man who can serenade you. No, really. I don't want you to get any lovey dovey thoughts but these choral boys have charm and finesse. Even if their practice room is a little ripe. When they stand on the stage giving you their all you can't help but giggle at their manliness. Enjoy... WE'RE THE MEN!!!!

Gentlemen, you've heard snippets of the girls songs drifting down the hallways but not in it's full glory!!!! As the girls begin, you can't help but fall in love a little (despite Mrs.dB's rousing, and inspiring, speech to the contrary). Here's the most favourite one of all... AIN'T NO GRAVE TO HOLD MY BODY DOWN!!!!
