Discovery Gospel Choir is an over 30 member intercultural choir based in Dublin, Ireland.[1] The choir was founded in 2004 as part of the Church of Ireland's 5-year Discovery Project - an initiative to welcome migrants and encourage social integration in Ireland. As of 2006, they were based at Dublin's Sts. George and Thomas Church, which was the only state-built Church of Ireland parish.[2]

In 2009 the Discovery Project ended and the choir developed into an inter-denominational, professional choir.[citation needed] It is directed by Róisín Dexter and is partially supported by the Church of Ireland and Dublin City Council.
