The Morgan State University Choir performed at Inspiring Body of Christ Church in Dallas as part of its spring tour. 

According to a report, the choir visited three cities in Texas: Dallas, Houston, and Austin, to entertain Texans.

Visiting, Performing at Dallas Church

According to WEAA News, as the Morgan State University Choir toured Texas, the choir spent its first full day in Dallas touring the city's many attractions, including the site of John F. Kennedy's assassination and the Dallas Museum of Art.

The group also visited The Potter's House, among the country's largest megachurches led by Bishop T.D. Jakes. 

It also reported that the group took a quick stroll inside the Dallas church that hosted Stevie Wonder's concert. The megachurch is famous for its large congregation that could hold up to 5,000 people before taking the stage. Sharks, sting rays, and other species may be found in the church's aquarium, which the choir also visited.

According to the news outlet, the Inspiring Body of Christ Church hosted the choir later that evening. The choir opened with "Lift Every Voice and Sing," arranged by Dr. Nathan Carter, its former choir director. The group also performed various classical, spiritual, and gospel songs as the evening continued.

The choir traveled almost three hours on a bus on a Saturday morning to perform at Grant Worship Center in Austin. After that, it went to Houston's Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church as the tour ended. 

Morgan State University Choir

The Morgan State University Choir is widely recognized as one of the best collegiate choral groups in the United States.

The highly regarded choir features the nearly 120-strong The University Choir and The Morgan Singers, which numbers close to 40 members. 

Though the choir performs various musical styles, including classical, gospel, and modern popular music, it is best known for its dedication to preserving the spiritual tradition. It is also committed to time-honored performing styles.

About the Inspiring Body of Christ Church

Dallas, Texas, is home to the Inspirational Body of Christ Church (IBOC), a place of worship dedicated to the one true God and Savior, Jesus Christ. It provides genuine thanks to God and offers outstanding assistance to the congregation and its guests.

According to the website, the church's purpose is found in the Bible. As "fishers of men," its members delightfully share the good news of Jesus Christ with the world. 

The members of IBOC are unified in their desire to see Christians "stick and stay" in their faith.

Actual divers are working in three of IBOC's aquariums. 

Per the website, God has used people from all walks of life and all corners of the globe to join the church. By doing so, Jesus instructs everyone that the Body of Christ is meant to be one united unit.

The Tanks

The purpose of IBOC is represented by the tanks on the campus. 

Submerging oneself in water symbolizes crossing into a parallel world, which is the only way to enter the sanctuary. The marine life in the tanks consists of various species from far and wide.

It also stated that one could think of each fish as a representative of one of the visitors who has passed under the tanks to enter the safe house.
