Our Mission and Purpose
Purpose: Our purpose is to bring glory to God through God-honoring music that uplifts the soul and points others to our Foundation, Jesus Christ.
Mission: Our mission is to provide local churches with God-honoring music by releasing albums and by making our recorded songs available in formats that may assist local churches in their music ministries.
How We Started
Foundation was formed after we started singing together in chapel services at Heartland Baptist Bible College. We quickly realized our shared love of Gospel music and wanted to sing new and old songs to encourage others and bring glory to God.
As college students driving back and forth to church, we would listen to music that we loved but couldn’t find music for. When we found a song we wanted to sing together, Kurtis and Chaz would listen to the music and notate it by ear. They began to do this, for not just our quartet, but also for various groups of our peers at Heartland.
We had the opportunity to travel on a college quartet together and as we went throughout the country, we began to see a particular desire in others. We found that many people had songs they loved and desired to sing in church, but lacked the resources to assist them in preparing those songs for services. Soon, the idea was formed to start a group that not only made music, but also provided the resources for others to use that music in their local church.
Whether the Lord allows us to do this for one year or ten, we saw an opportunity to be a help to others and wanted to act on it. We hope to be a help and an encouragement through Gospel music.
