Lee University Campus Choir

The Lee University Campus Choir is a worship choir associated with Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee.
History.
In Cleveland, Tennessee, the Church of God started the Bible Training School which later became Lee College and is now Lee University. This higher education institution sponsored "The Church of God Hour" on the local radio stations and featured a 40 voice mixed choir, which has had several directors, including Harold Cato, Y.H. Yates, and Roosevelt Miller.
In 1958, A.T. Humphries divided the Mixed Choir into two distinct organizations – a touring choir and the Campus Choir.
Dr. David Horton was appointed as the director of Campus Choir in 1983. Starting with 58 students, the choir grew into an enrollment of 150 students. The decision was made to begin auditions and to limit the size of the choir to around 100 students, and the choir would begin to travel to local churches and sing an arrangement of choral music. Another influence at this time was the creation of Choral Union with the purpose of performing the great oratorios. Years later, Dr. Horton decided to make worship the main focus of the Lee University Campus Choir, and remains the focus of the choir to this day.
With several releases to their name, "The Comforter Has Come" was the final project under the direction of Dr. Horton, who had been director for 25 years until his death in 2006. Since his death, the choir has been directed by Dr. Mark Bailey and Pastor Jimmy Phillips, respectfully. The leadership has now been passed to Dr. Luke Gambill since the resignation of Phillips in September 2020.
