Karen began piano lessons at the age of four and since her father was a Baptist preacher, she has been singing and playing the piano in church all of her life. She has also been a piano and voice teacher for many years. She married Donnie Copenhaver in 1977 and four years later, their first son, James Russell Copenhaver, was born.
Jim literally grew up in church. Some of his earliest memories are of playing at church while Karen practiced with the choir or taught a piano lesson. He always loved music, and he loves to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with all who will listen. Jim has been blessed with a powerful lead voice that points listeners to Christ. In 1988 Karen and Donnie were blessed with their second son, Joshua David Copenhaver.
Josh loves every aspect of southern gospel music! He graduated from high school in May of 2007 where he was always active in choir and drama as well as football and baseball. His low baritone voice, and outstanding blending harmony ability makes him a fan favorite at all venues.
Anytime you visit The Copenhavers home, music is always playing and the family seems to always be singing. In December of 2005 they sang as a trio for the first time in public for the community Christmas service at the historical Knupp Church in Rittman, Ohio. The church was packed with people, they stood and sang one Christmas song, and from that day there has been no looking back for The Copenhavers. In June of 2006 they traveled to Alexandria, Indiana to Gaither Recording Studios to work with the renowned producer Woody Wright to record their self titled album “Copenhavers.” Then in July 2007 they returned to Gaither Studios to record a “Hymns & Hits" album. In September '07 The Copenhavers sang at The National Quartet Convention in Louisville, Kentucky for a Regional Artist Showcase. It was the greatest honor, and blessing the family had received in their brief time of Ministry. In the Spring of 2008 The Copenhavers released their first song to radio "I'll Be There" with the Rick Hendrix Company. Then in the Fall of 2008 at the Gran-daddy of them all The National Quartet Convention The Copenhavers were asked to sing 2 songs for an Artist Showcase Spectacular. The Copenhavers have so much to be thankful for, and serve a AWESOME GOD to sing about!
In the Summer of 2009 The Copenhavers teamed up with two evangelists from Liberty University Dr. Norm Pratt, and Dr. Dan Dehaas to form the "Old Fashion" Revival Tours. The Revivals have been spreading across the Country starting in Virginia, and reaching to Alabama. In just 3 short months of Revival meetings the Revival Tours have seen over 60 men, women, and teenagers give their hearts to Christ! The Revival Tours are a blessing to all ages in the local Church!
There is something special about family harmony! The Copenhavers have a deep musical heritage, outstanding talent, and a strong faith in God’s amazing grace. The combination of these, make The Copenhavers a Family Gospel Trio that will bring a powerful ministry wherever God leads them to sing.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same. I hope you have a very Blessed weekend.

A friend is someone we turn to, When our spirits need a lift, A friend is someone we treasure, For true friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone we laugh with, Over little personal things, A friend is someone we're serious with, In facing whatever life brings.
A friend is someone who fills our lives, With beauty and joy and grace. And makes the world that we live in A better and happier place! I hope you have a great day
Friendship comes from the HEART. Someone who accepts you for being The person you are….. The person who is always there, Whenever you need the most… The person that gives you the strength When you feel that your strength has gone A friend is someone who loves you Just because “ YOU ARE YOU” I hope you have a very Blessed upcoming Weekend.

As we walk our path of life, We meet people everyday. Most are simply met by chance. But, some are sent our way. These become special friends Whose bond we can't explain; The ones who understand us And share our joy and pain
Their love contains no boundaries. So, even we are apart. Their presence enhances us With a warmth felt in the heart.
This love becomes a passageway, When even the miles disappear. And so, these friends, God sends our way, Remain forever near. I hope you have a very Blessed upcoming week
