Our MISSION is to help each other share our musical ministries with the general public in the Ohio Valley Region.

Our VISION is to create and nurture an atmosphere where the lost of our communities may find Christ, believers may be uplifted and encouraged in their Walk, and those who are called into musical ministry may be successful in their work for the Kingdom.

Our VALUES include (but are not limited to, and in no particular order) Quality Christian Musical Ministry, Unity in Mission, Diversity in Style, Teamwork, Integrity of Character, Financial Integrity, Tenacity, and a Firm Foundation in the Holy Bible.



WE BELIEVE in the existence and in the sovereign power of the Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; who sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16), who lived a sinless life upon the earth in the form of a man.

We believe that the Holy Bible is the exclusive and inspired Word of God, and that it contains all things necessary for salvation.

We believe Jesus' statement that He is "the Way, the Truth, and the Life; [the only way] to the Father" (John 14:6). We believe in the necessity of repentance (Luke 24:47, Acts 3:19) and of a profession of faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:10). We believe that salvation can be received only by the grace of God, and not of our own works; (Ephesians 2: 8-9, Romans 6:23), but that a Christian lifestyle must follow (I John 2:1-6), through the habitual practice of prayer (I Tim 2:8, James 5:16), Bible study (John 5:39, 2 Tim 3:16), holy living (I Thess 5:23), and fellowship with believers (Hebrews 10:25).

We believe that Jesus Christ suffered and died (Acts 2:22-23), was buried, and arose from the grave (Acts 2:24); that He ascended into Heaven (Acts 1:9) where He remains upon His throne (Acts 2:30-33); and that He sent the Holy Spirit as a comfort and guide to His followers (John 15:26, 16:7) until the Day that He returns (Acts 1:11, I Thess 4:16-17) to judge the living and the dead (Acts 10:42, 2 Tim 4:1, Hebrews 9:28).

As children of God (John 1:12) and followers of Jesus Christ (I Peter 2:21), we accept His Commission to use our talents (Matt 25:14-15) and gifts (I Cor 12:4-11) to take His Gospel to the world, teaching His absolute Truth (Matt 28:18-20).
