Emanuel United Church of Christ (UCC), located at 324 W Main St, will be hosting the Lore Family, a Southern Gospel Music group, this Friday, August 26, at 7pm in the church sanctuary. All are welcome.

The Lore Family consists of Darren, Sandy, Fayth, Jake, and Samuel. They reside in the southern city of Portsmouth, Ohio. Over the past several years, the Lore Family have ministered in hundreds of services. The churches and venues that the Lore Family ministers in has been diverse. The family make it a point to ensure that each concert or ministry opportunity is fulfilled in excellence and authenticity. They strive to ensure that every appointment filled has meaning and impact for those in attendance. Darren has been senior pastor of two congregations within the last 20 years. He first pastored a church in Huntington, W.Va., for six years. He later pastored Seventh Street Christian Baptist Church for 14 years, resigning in February of 2014.

They sing a variety of music, including classic and current Southern gospel favorites as well as originals written by Darren. Whether singing with tracks, live music, or a cappella, the Lore Family ministers to all ages. It doesn’t take long for others to be inspired by the passion and the anointing of this spirit-filled family. They certainly have a desire to see souls saved, the church strengthened, and God’s name exalted.

The Lore Family began their ministry traveling in the tristate region of Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. They now have traveled all across the US, including 21 states such as Michigan, Virginia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Georgia, New Mexico, and Missouri. They have also sung in Canada. As opportunity knocks, this revivalist family will continue to travel and minister through singing and preaching. They also speak at topical seminars such as Sunday School; Church Growth; Women, Men, or Teen Ministry; Marriage; Parenting; and Drug Awareness.

They launched into radio and digital ministry on March 6, 2009. Their first national release was the title cut of their first project, An Absolutely Good Day. Since that day, the tight family harmony of the Lores, along with anointed, Bible-based originals have earned the group the recognition as an up-and-coming new artist. The Lore Family have recorded three projects at Daywind Studios in Nashville, Tenn. Their most current album was produced by the industry-known Wayne Haun.

The Lore Family have sung on many well-known stages across the country. These stages include the National Quartet Convention, Gatlinburg Gathering Showcase, Singing In the Sun Showcase, Gospel Music Showcase TV, Great American Gospel TV, Gospel Music USA TV, Dollywood, and Silver Dollar City. They have also been featured on The Gospel Greats with radio personality Paul Heil. Their radio releases have been consistently in the top 20 of the Singing News Chart and are played regularly on satellite stations such as EnLighten Radio Sirius XM. Fans voting in the Singing News Fan Awards have voted the Lore Family in the top 5 category for Favorite New Mixed Group for two consecutive years. Although chart positions and awards are honors, the Lore Family understands that these things come and go. Their main purpose for radio/TV ministry is to give a message of hope and encouragement to seekers and believers. As the Lord blesses, the Lore Family will continue to record and release quality, anointed Southern Gospel Music.
