Wellsville Baptist Church

Calverymen - Southern Gospel
Sunday, February 28th at 6:00

The group was originally formed in the 1970's as The Disciples Quartet, which dissolved in 1984. The Calvarymen was formed in 1985. They have shared the stage with The Hoppers, The Martins, Brian Free, The Blackwoods, The Lesters, The Dixie Melody Boys, The Steeles, The Freemans, The Isaac's and many others.

With recent tragedies faced by the quartet, the group has found the strength of the Lord as a constant guide. A fatal plane crash claimed the life of baritone Roger Hughes, and soon after cancer claimed the life of bass singer Don Gardner. Lead singer Galen Dixon suffered a severe broken back injury and then fought a battle with cancer and a year of chemotherapy. And tenor Doren Keeler had a near death experience after being struck by lightening. All of this has renewed the group's commitment to the necessity of spreading the message that ALL people need Jesus. Through all of these circumstances, the Lord has provided just the right individuals to keep the ministry of the Calvarymen going.

The Quartet has released thirteen projects. The last six are on CD as well as cassette. Each member of the Calvarymen is a born-again Christian with a desire to help others have a close, personal relationship with Christ. They also have the conviction that church attendance is a top priority and a vital part of "living the life".
