LBCC as they are affectionately known is a very dynamic, anointed, and powerful choir comprised of singers and choir directors from various churches throughout the Los Angeles County.

During their early years, the choir not only ministered to churches throughout Northern and Southern California, but also participated in two (2) Michael Matthews productions: "Mama, I'm Sorry" and "Wicked Ways".

LBCC has also been featured at several Sunday Brunch’s including BB King's House of Blues, DC 3 Restaurant, Galaxy Theater and made an appearance on the Bobby Jones Gospel Show.

In the year 2000, God blessed the Long Beach Children of Christ Choir to record their first CD entitled, "He Has Done So Much", a live recording at Central Baptist Church of Carson, California, however in the year that followed the choir experienced some challenges, as a result their singing was temporarily put on hold.

2004, dawned "a new season" for Long Beach Children of Christ as through much prayer and a renewed sense of commitment to the ministry, the choir reorganized, combining some former members with some new ones to once again fulfill the great commission by ministering through song to the people of God.

In 2006, LBCC signed with new gospel label ATM Productions, LLC and released their long awaited CD at Gospel Memorial COGIC, November 11, 2006. The CD is full of substance and Uplifting Praise…It’s Soulful, Inspirational, Joyful, Meaningful, and Thought Provoking.

2. Lift up the name of JESUS everywhere we go,
3. Break yokes through the singing ministry,
