Who We Are:
Formed in 1989, The New Jerusalem Singers sing Southern Gospel music. We've had the opportunity to minister the gospel through music in churches with various affiliations, crossing denominational lines, as well as in independent churches.  It does not matter where we go to sing, we want Jesus to be uplifted.

We have also led Praise & Worship in various settings. We use to pastor a church and loved the Praise & Worship because it drew people closer to God. If you were feeling down, it lifted you up.  If you would like for us to come and lead Praise & Worship or teach a session, just ask.

The New Jerusalem Singers will come to your church for a love offering. We firmly believe that God will supply all of our needs...and He has. We ask for a love offering and the opportunity to set up our table of CD's and merchandise. This helps us in our ministry so that we don't have to charge a huge fee to any church. Our table of merchandise is also on a donation basis.

We will work within the budgets of fairs, festivals, and the many other events we participate in.  (If you have questions as to the charge just contact us and we will talk and see what we can work out)

We are selective of the songs we sing. Each song we sing must carry a message. Even the "fun" songs, as we like to call them, have quite a message to them.

Ray plays bass guitar and sings the lead. Cindy plays keyboards and sings alto. She sometimes will also play a guitar when they sing for an extended period of time. If need be, we can use some soundtracks (most of them will have been recorded at our studio - so it sounds the same whether we are using our instruments or not). July 08 we added Ed and he plays guitar and sings with us. We sing a variety of songs and will sing a variety of places. 

It does not matter where we are invited to sing. Size is not a factor with us. God can move in the small settings as well as the large settings. We enjoy the small settings just as well the larger ones. The New Jerusalem Singers have had an opportunity to sing at family reunions, festivals, gospel sings, camps, churches, Sunday Schools, nursing homes, retirement villages, revivals  and individuals homes as well as other locations. All you have to do is ask for us to come. Contact us to get a date set up for your event. 

The New Jerusalem Singers considered 2005 to be a new beginning and that is why we released a new CD with a new sound entitled, A New Beginning.  Our ministry will continue to grow and we look forward to what the Lord has in store for us.  We have a  hymn CD and also includes songs written by both Ray and Cindy. This was released June 28, 2008 and is titled "I Know He Will Bless". June 27, 2009 we will release our newest CD "Sing, Sing, Sing".  this features our newest member of NJS - Ed Sinclair - on many songs.

We have a passion for ministry and a desire to encourage the Body of Christ through song.  Everyone needs a little lift from time to time.  "It's Not What's Over The Door",  (the denomination of your church) that matters to us, as long as you are "Saved by Grace".  We do not look at denominations - we are all Christians if you believe in Christ.

Be sure to check out our schedule and come and see us sometime.

Come expecting a good time in the Lord.
Always Remember
"IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS"
