It is the desire of the Stanleys to uplift the name of Jesus, to bring hope to the hopeless, joy to the discouraged, peace to your heart in these troubled times, and the message of Salvation to the unbeliever. The family tradition continues with the present group consisting of a brother, sister and two neices.







Carolyn Stanley Downey, the alto, is an original member of the group. She is a songwriter that walks closely with the LORD, who provides her with her material and the wisdom to manage the group. She is the songwriter of such crowd-favorites as "4 Men Walking" & "Take Me Down". She has a daughter and son, Melissa and Danny, and five adorable grandchildren; Julian, Adrienne, Olivia, Devon and Kaylin.

Kenneth Stanley, Carolyn's brother, is strongly outnumbered by females. This, however, has taught him that patience is a virtue and laughter is good for the heart...especially when all the women have back seat driver's licenses. He is honored to carry on the legacy of his father's teachings of the gospel. He is married to Sherry and has two sons, Tommy and Chris. Kenneth is so very blessed to have four grandDAUGHTERS; Rachael, Katie, Christa and Issabella. If you ever get the chance, ask him about his wig...

Trish Harvill, Carolyn and Kenneth's niece and Gingers first cousin, sings from the heart with an awesome and powerful voice. She has a call on her life to preach the Word of GOD and minister through song. Trish started out as the piano player for The Stanleys in the late 1980s and is now the lead singer. She has been married to her husband, Mike, eighteen years and has two wonderful children, Cody and Micah. Trish is also a never-ending source of entertainment...

Ginger Stanley Hawley, has come back to the group after being away for five and a half yrs. She is the daughter of Darwin Stanley, an original member of the group. She is Carolyn and Kenneths neice, and trish's cousin. Ginger is married to Michael Hawley and has three children, Dillan, Mckenzie and Tristan. She has written songs such as, "Thank you Jesus", "Walkin", "Raisin a Standard", "Oh How He Flew", and "I Did" All songs recorded by The Stanleys. She sings with Conviction and Heart, hoping to touch at least one person and she cant wait to get in that van and goooooooooo. lol and laugh and laugh and laugh. lol


Diann Stanley, mom to Trih, sister to Carolyn and Kenneth and Gingers Aunt, does a wonderful job of running the sound. It takes a special, dedicated person to be a soundWOMAN...lol...and she is definately special and dedicated. A former soprano singer for the group, Diann still blesses us occasionally by joining Kenneth and Carolyn in singing a song. She is very affectionately referred to as "negative head"...

Heather Hart is a very talented young lady who travels with the Stanleys and helps out in so many ways. She sometimes plays massage therapist to Trish...lol...She has the voice of an angel and always blesses the crowd with her heartfelt singing. She is very affectionately referred to as "Heifer"...
