Biography

Through the years we have had the privilege of serving the Lord in many different arenas; Church services, Saturday and Sunday afternoon sings, Revivals, Concerts, Youth Rallies, Church anniversaries, Christian Concerts, TV specials, Radio Programs, Family Reunions, shoppiong Malls, Court House Lawns, our Nations Capital, Quartet Conventions, Benefit Concerts and Fund raisers.

History of Our Name
In England when the Salvation Army preachers would stand on the street corners and proclaim the salvation message of Jesus Christ and exhort people to repentance, there was always a band of singers singing hymns. Some of these singers were in training to become preachers themselves and some knew the preachers needed not only the support of people with a common goal, but prayer warriors on the battle field surrounding the preacher with prayers for protection, boldness and the leading of the Holy Spirit in each sermon. We desire to be that augmentation to the preachers of today, to come along side in praising God, work to bring the lost to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and uplift the saints in a world that tries to beat them down. Encourage them to not only run the race but also finish the course unto His coming.

Goals
The main driving point that has kept the Songsters going through the years is knowing we are called and serving the one true and living God. Our desire is to see souls come to know Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God as their new personal Savior, to have a part in leading them to the Lord. When we are called home we want to hear Christ say, " Well done my good and faithful servant."
