The Crist Family is considered to be one of the fastest rising family groups in gospel music today. Their blend of voices, great songs, high energy, clever staging, variety of music and incredible testimony is second to none. One of the most unique qualities of The Crist Family is their group size. Seven singers make up this mixed family group. With four women and three male vocals you will hear amazing four, five and even six part harmonies. The Crist Family is always changing their look in concert from duets to trios to quartets. Forty years separate the youngest member to the oldest member, so there is always something for all ages. From classic southern gospel to a more progressive sound, this group does it all!
The group began part-time in 1987. After seventeen years in ministry, God called this family group to a higher level of service. In 2004 the group sold all they had, quit their jobs and said goodbye to their extended families and relocated from Seattle, Washington all the way across the country to just north of Knoxville, Tennessee to follow the Lord’s call to full-time ministry.
In just a few short years, God has blessed their leap of faith and answered their prayers to allow them to sing a message of hope through song to thousands of people. They have already ministered in 28 states and Canada. In just their third year they were invited to sing on Main Stage at the National Quartet Convention and have graced the stage at nearly every major event in gospel music. They signed a major recording contract with Horizon records and were picked up by the industry leading Harper Agency for booking management. They have recorded six CDs and a Live DVD and have had amazing chart success with every song released to radio. They have had several Top 5 and Top 10 nominations by the Singing News Fan Awards for Horizon group of the year, soprano of the year and young artist of the year.
It is apparent that God has His hand on this group and has chosen to bless their step of faith for His glory. You will not be disappointed but rather you will be blessed as you hear this beautiful family group sing songs that glorify God and lift the soul and spirit of every person with whom they come in contact.

Four-leaf Clover Poem
<br />
<br />I know a place where the sun is like gold,
<br />And the cherry blooms burst with snow,
<br />And down underneath is the loveliest nook,
<br />Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
<br />
<br />
<br />One leaf is for HOPE, and one is for FAITH,
<br />And one is for LOVE, you know,
<br />And GOD put another in for LUCK --
<br />If you search, you will find where they grow.
<br />
<br />
<br />But you must have HOPE, and you must have FAITH,
<br />You must LOVE and be strong -- and so --
<br />If you work, if you wait, you will find the place
<br />Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
<br />
<br />
<br />HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
The Holy Alphabet.... This is Beautiful
<br />
<br />Whoever came up with this one must have had
<br />some Divine guidance!
<br />
<br />Although things are not perfect
<br />Because of trial or pain
<br />Continue in thanksgiving
<br />Do not begin to blame
<br />Even when the times are hard
<br />Fierce winds are bound to blow
<br />God is forever able
<br />Hold on to what you know
<br />Imagine life without His love
<br />Joy would cease to be
<br />Keep thanking Him for all the things
<br />Love imparts to thee
<br />Move out of 'Camp Complaining'
<br />No weapon that is known
<br />On earth can yield the power
<br />Praise can do alone
<br />Quit looking at the future
<br />Redeem the time at hand
<br />Start every day with worship
<br />To 'thank' is a command
<br />Until we see Him coming
<br />Victorious in the sky
<br />We'll run the race with gratitude
<br />X alting God most high
<br />Yes, there'll be good times and yes some
<br />will be bad, but...
<br />Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!
<br />
<br />'I AM Too blessed to be stressed!'
<br />The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between
<br />your knees and the floor.
<br />
<br />
<br />The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.
<br />
<br />
<br />Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.
