Mission
We believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God. We also
believe in the virgin birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ and in the
sufficiency of Christ's finished work at Calvary for the atoning of
sin. The Bible tells us that there is a literal Heaven AND a literal
Hell, and that man has a choice of where he will spend eternity. We
believe in water baptism as an outward expression of an inward
change, and the inward change of Christ living in us, is what
eternally secures the "true believer". Our mission is to encourage
the church and evangelize the lost through gospel music and the
message of Christ and in Him crucified.

| Roy accepted Christ as his personal Savior at the early age of
seven at Foy Lane Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, and is thrilled
to see what God has done in his life since that day. Born in
Fayetteville, Arkansas, and being raised in Houston, has well
developed his love for Southern Gospel music. Roy began singing when
he was thirteen at the church where his dad pastored outside of
Houston, Texas. (Yes, Roy is a preacher's kid.)
 Roy recorded his
first album when he was sixteen and later sang with a few local
quartets that traveled throughout the Gulf Coast region. Roy is also
a 1984 graduate of The Blackwood Brothers School of Christian Music
when it was located in Murray, Kentucky. It has been Roy's dream
from a young boy hearing quartets such as The Florida Boys,
Blackwood Brothers, Gold City, The Hinsons, and The Cathedrals, to sing
and travel bringing the saving message of Christ.
Roy is a member of First Baptist Church of Springdale, Arkansas,
where he is pastored by Dr. Ronnie Floyd. When Roy is not away
ministering, he is an active part of the choir and occasionally
participates with the Praise Team on Sundays. The church is very
involved with local and global missions. This area of service too,
Roy has and does participate in with a passion and calling for
spreading the Gospel of Christ."I have been very blessed to
have been a part of two Mission Journeys. My first, August of 2006,
was to Malawi, Africa where our team of seven witnessed and
ministered to hundreds. By the end of our 11 day journey, over 1,200
people had prayed to receive Christ as their personal Savior and six
churches were planted as a result. In June 2006, I had the
opportunity to travel to Curitiba, Brazil where our team of 13
ministered in a newly developed suburb of that city and saw over 50
people pray to receive Christ and a new church started in the same
community. This is what we are commissioned to do . . . spread the
Gospel. If it's across the street or across the world. People need
to hear. How will they hear unless we tell them. How can we tell
them unless we go."
