Joyful Return is a Coptic Orthodox choir originating out of St. Peter and St. Paul's Coptic Orthodox Church in Santa Monica, CA. We're a group of mainly Egyptian-American youth who compose, sing hymns and songs to praise the Lord and mediate on His work in our life. Our mission is to spread God's word, the salvation of Christ and the joy of the Holy Spirit wherever God leads us.

"Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You." Psalm 63:3

“Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. “ Psalm 73:25
