Gary & Linda Keffer

Having pastored and co-pastored for 14 years before beginning their traveling ministry in 1984, Gary has a special insight and understanding into what the church is facing today. Gary sings bass and mixes his many years of preaching experience and humor together to be a wonderful emcee for the group. Through his humor, hard hitting challenges and heart-touching encouragement, Gary is ministering like very few in America today. Linda has been blessed with a great spiritual heritage. Being the daughter of a well respected man of God who founded and pastored the same church for 42 years, had a great impact on Linda and gave her a unique passion and love for ministry. It was as a young girl in her father’s church that she and Gary met, and later married. She is definitely the mainstay of this family. Her crystal clear voice, coupled with her heartfelt sincerity and love for her family as well as others, gives her an appeal to people everywhere.

 

Mike & Amy Shellem

Amy is the daughter of Gary and Linda and is a gifted singer, songwriter and musician and writes most of what the family sings. As a staff writer for Centergy Publishing, she has seen her songs recorded and sung by many well known artists. God has also opened wonderful doors for her music to enter the church in the realm of choir octavos such as “He’s Already There”, published through Genevox Music and “One Look At the Cross” with Alan Publishing. Her song, “The Blood Cried Out” was nominated in 2002 for a Dove Award. Her sweet spirit and love for the Lord have made her one of the most insightful, powerful, and biblically on-line songwriters of our day. In 2002 after years of waiting for God’s best, she and Mike Shellem were married. He also has had the blessing of being raised in a Christ centered home. And, he also has had a rich heritage in ministry. Having been a youth pastor for many years, as well as being a talented musician and singer, Mike has become an added blessing to the family ministry. His kind heart and passion for Christ make him a joy to everyone he meets. In 2003 God blessed their home with a beautiful baby girl named Carlie Elizabeth Shellem who is the light of her parents life. And just when they thought it couldn't get any better the Lord gave them a bouncing baby boy named Cody Michael Lawrence Shellem on 10/12/05!!! You will be blessed by this family.

 

Paul & Jessica Keffer

Paul is the son of Gary and Linda. He began singing and playing the bass guitar with his family when he was 9 years old. He is one of the premier lead singers of our day. He has been blessed with many abilities that make him very capable of the task of carrying out much of the behind the scenes operation of the ministry. Pastors, promoters and church leaders find him very easy to work with. After spending most of his life on the road, God saw fit to send a beautiful young woman into his life. He and Jessica were married in July of 2000. She is a glowing Christian and has been a real blessing to the ministry as well. Whether it’s from the platform or behind the scenes she’s a wonderful help and support to Paul and a blessing to all who encounter her. In 2002 God blessed their home with little Emily Grace Keffer who has become the delight of many as she makes her way into the program most nights as the Keffers minister. In 2004 their home became a little smaller when they were blessed with the addition of Ethan Taylor Keffer. Ethan definitely gives new meaning to the term "ALL BOY" You will love this young family.
