Fees & Payment

VIP works to keep our fees as low as possible. We believe that every child should have access to the music and ministry of Voices In Praise. We charge a yearly materials fee that helps with the cost of music and supplies. We ask singers to turn in their music so that VIP can use it again.

VIP is a uniformed choir. We ask singers to pay a refundable deposit at the time their uniform is issued: $25 for boys and $75 for girls. This amount is refunded when the singer leaves the choir and returns his/her uniform.

We serve a monthly dinner to singers. We ask each VIP family to pitch in and help by preparing food for two dinners per year.

If the existing fees are a challenge for your family, please let us know. We do not want any child to miss VIP for financial reasons.

🦁For singers joining VIP in April 2023 - you will not need a formal VIP uniform to participate in "Lion King."
