Our music has a message, the message of Christ. Every night we work to bring His message to our audience. Our goal is to see people saved through Jesus Christ whether it is indoors, outdoors, in an auditorium, church, on cd or video ".
There aren't too many groups today who can boast the kind of far-reaching legacy that comes with a 52-year career as one of gospel music's most influential artists.
