Minnesota State Baptist Convention Choir Makes Its Debut on Billboard's Gospel Albums Chart

Minnesota State Baptist Convention Choir's brand new debut album We Are Better Together makes its debut on Billboard's Gospel Albums chart. The set lands at #6 selling 1,000 copies. It's the first Billboard chart appearance for the act, which represents 30 churches across Minnesota. 

The Minnesota State Baptist Convention Choir, is a combined choir comprised of members from 30 churches that make up the Minnesota State Baptist Convention. The choir is under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Charvez Russell of Greater Friendship Missionary Baptist Church and produced by Rev. Steven Daniels of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church. In an effort to promote unity in our community the project is appropriately titled "We Are Better Together." When asked about the concept of the project Dr. Russell stated, "We wanted to be true to our roots so our goal was to create a mix of traditional and contemporary Gospel songs that would be encouraging and uplifting as well as simple enough for choirs in churches. We want our message of Jesus to be heard so we decided on songs that would represent us as a ministry and promote the message of Jesus Christ." 

The project is not short of talent as it is produced by Rev. Steven Daniels of Xcentric Records who also wrote some songs in addition to writers such as: Jovonta Patton, Darnell Davis, David Hurst, William Duncan, Rev. Ronald Terry (former National Baptist Choir Director), Jewel McLaurin, and Dr. Charvez Russell. Some of the guest soloists include President Billy G. Russell, Paris Bennett, Marie Graham, Pastor Bruce Carpenter, and many other talented artists and soloists.

The proceeds from this project will go towards expanding the ministry of the choir in addition to the Brianna Lark Scholarship Fund. Supporting this project will not only uplift your spirit, it will also go towards giving a scholarship to a graduating high school senior.
