HOLSEY CHAPEL--"A Beacon of Hope for the Community"
<bgsound src="yourmusicfile.mid" loop="infinite">

The music ministry of Holsey Chapel has a rich tradition for providing music which supports the spoken word through traditional hymns, spirituals, anthems, gospels and inspirational music. The music leaders strive to remain authentic in their interpretation of music from our heritage, while providing a contemporary approach to reach the spirit of the present age. The Senior Choir and Mass Choir provide music for the morning worship on scheduled Sundays of the month. Our Youth Choir serves on each fourth Sunday and selected services throughout the church year. Men and women from all choirs and the congregation have come together to form the Male Chorus and  Women’s Chorale.

The music ministry has also extended its services to include seasonal concerts, services with area churches and choral workshops.  Noted musicians, such as Professor Milton Boren, Jenelsie Owens, Vanessa Melton, and Johnelia Jordan have supported our music ministry.  Presently, the department is headed by Annie Pearl Stepherson.  As Director of Music, she has an extensive knowledge of church music and the ability to direct the choirs and music program so as to get stellar results. Recently, Charles Coney returned home to offer his talents as Church Organist. His experiences include GMWA recordings and leadership in the A.M.E. Connectional Church.  Ironically, Mrs. Stepherson was Charles’ Sunday School teacher and Youth Choir director. She has trained him well! Devin Jenkins is the Church Percussionist. He is a rising talent in the local high school band.

The Music Ministry welcomes anyone from the community to share their talents with the various choirs in the church.  Faithfully, we will continue to bring ethereal offerings in the name of the Lord.

“Be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.” Ephesians 5:18-19
