Please allow us to tell you about ourselves and our ministry.

Who are we and what do we do?
"Southern Gospel Singing Straight from the Heart" is how we've been characterized by those who have had an opportunity to worship with us in our concerts.
Cross Reference Ministries was formed in 1993. Up until then Curt and Joy had been touring and singing in a secular bluegrass/country group. In March of '93, by the Grace of our all mighty God and the conviction of the Holy Spirit, Curt was saved! He immediately vowed that any musical talent that he had been given would be used to honor our savior Jesus Christ. Cross Reference was formed and since that day, we have honored that commitment.

Cross Reference Ministries consists of husband and wife Curt and Joy Hollifield, their daughter Christen Blanton, and Joy's sister Cindi Welch. Each one is a born again believer with a true passion for service for Christ. Tight harmonies, pure motives and testifying of God's blessings are what make their ministry a true worship experience. Motivated by the Holy Spirit and dedicated to the cause of Christ, Cross Reference is truly focused on bringing God's Word through song.

What can I expect when
Cross Reference comes to my church?
Listen to our CD. Some say we've got a Southern Gospel sound and others say we're Country. Both are true. When we book a concert, we send out a package of flyers, photos and some instructions on how to promote the concert. While we definitely want everyone in the congregation to attend, we also want to stress to them to bring someone to the service that is lost. We're all fishers of men. We'll sing, quote scripture and testify as to the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The length of service begins with the church and ends with the Holy Spirit. We go to do business on behalf of our Lord. Our prayers prior to the service will revolve around God's will taking place. We ask for His blessings upon the congregation plus a sweet anointing from the Holy Spirit. If we are to be seed planters, then so be it. However, if the Holy Spirit convicts a soul and they want to receive Christ, Glory to God!

Since we began in 1993, we have ministered through song at approximately 875 churches and events. We have always done our best to make every effort to fulfill our booking obligations. Thanks to our Lord's Grace, stability is one of our strengths. We are truly dedicated to bringing a Gospel message through song and word to any congregation.
