Messengers for Christ

History

Since 1977 over 250 persons have participated as directors, singers and musicians in this choir.

The Messengers for Christ Interdenominational Choir was organized in 1977 under the leadership of Ben Smith and Ed Luney. We are now moving forward as the MFC Intergenerational Choir to encompass the vast range of ages of our current membership. The choir's charter members consisted of some of the former members of the Kentucky State University Gospel Ensemble. Other directors included the late Joseph Wallace Tiggs, Sherman Lamont Bush and Kevin Brian James. Since 1989 the choir has been under the direction of Ronnie von Pierre Norfleet.
