 Daugherty and Hindalong met each other in 1979 through Tim Chandler. Daugherty and Chandler were playing for TV Evangelist Paula Jan Crouch at the time, while Hindalong and Chandler were in college together. They wanted to put together a band, so they did in 1979. Youth Choir originally formed in the early 1980s. Youth Choir was part of the Calvary Chapel Christian punk and alternative music scene, which also included the bands [[Undercover]], [[Crumbächer]], [[Altar Boys]], and [[4-4-1]].
-The band's first official recording was the track "It's So Wonderful", released in 1984 on the compilation album //[[What's Shakin']]//, which also included early work from [[Undercover]], [[Altar Boys]], and [[The Lifters]]. This song was one of the few times that lead singer Daugherty wrote both lyrics and music; as the band developed, the majority of The Choir's lyrical output would come from drummer/percussionist Hindalong. In 1985, the band independently released a 7-inch single with "I Can't Take It" b/w "Here in the Night (live)." The band then signed to [[Broken Records US]] and released their debut album //Voices in Shadows// in 1985, with Mike Saurerbrey on bass. Their first EP //Shades of Gray// followed a year later, when Dan Michaels joined the band.

 When the band signed to [[Myrrh Records]] (a sub-label of Word Records) in 1986, their new label wanted the band to change the name. The label wanted a fresh start for the band, but didn't want them to throw out all of the support they had garnered as Youth Choir. So they decided to drop "Youth" to become The Choir.
