STACY COOPER (Lead) was born on September 11, 1972 to Gary and Cathy Cooper. Stacy was saved at the early age of seven. With Stacy being the son of a Baptist preacher, he has always been brought up in a wonderful christian home. Little did he know that God had a big plan for his life. In 1994, Stacy and his best friend formed the group Heaven Sent. Stacy sang with Heaven Sent for six years until God began to turn him in a different direction. In 2001, Stacy joined 2nd Comin' and continued to sing with them until late 2002. At that time, Stacy felt lead to form his own ministry called Reign Song. Stacy has taken a big step on faith and God has blessed him like never before. Not only has Stacy been blessed with a wonderful lead voice, but God has also given him a talent for songwriting that he is using for the glory of God. Stacy has written several songs including "Born in the Blood", which became Reign Song's first national release. This powerful song tells the story of when Stacy accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. Stacy is a graduate of the Steve Hurst School of Music. On the rare occasion that Reign Song is not on the road ministering, Stacy enjoys being able to attend his home church--Eleventh Avenue Baptist in Dalton, GA.
GINA COOPER (Soprano) was born on February 25, 1977 to George and Doris Cross. Gina was brought up in a wonderful Christian home and is certainly no stranger to Southern Gospel Music. Gina began singing at a very early age and her love for music has continued to grow even today. Her passion for music began as she sang with her father in their home church. As Gina went through junior high and high school, she became very active in the school choir. It had always been her dream to sing in a Southern Gospel group, and in 1993, Gina began singing with Tennessee Harmony from Cleveland, TN. She traveled with this group for about nine years. At that time, Gina decided to come off the road to devote time to her father who had been diagnosed with cancer. Through all of the years of traveling and singing, Gina's parents had always been very supportive of her ministry and she felt it was now time to support them. After two years of being off the road, Gina's father lost his battle with cancer and went Home to be with The Lord. Gina began to search for another group to sing with to fill the void in her heart. Soon after she began her search, God sent Reign Song into her life. Gina once again has a song in her heart and with the help of Stacy and Joennen, she will continue to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Gina is a member of Elkmont Baptist Church in Cleveland, TN and enjoys going with her family on her weekends off.
