Today, New Ground is celebrating 32 years of sharing the Gospel through song. With more than 3,500 appearances to their name, their music has carried them from their hometown of Scottsboro, Alabama, to Juneau, Alaska, and even across the ocean to Scotland, touching hearts and lives in countless places along the way.

​   From the very beginning, New Ground has remained true to its calling: to present gospel music without compromise. Their journey has been filled with extraordinary opportunities, unforgettable moments of ministry, and a steadfast commitment to uplifting the name of Christ through every note. Founders Dale and Robbie Maxwell continue to carry the vision God placed in their hearts, joined by longtime member David Owens, who is now marking 29 years with the group—a testament to the unity and shared purpose that defines New Ground.

​   Looking back with gratitude and forward with expectation, New Ground stands firm in their mission. In 2025, to the surprise and delight of their fan base, the group reintroduced a live band to their concerts after nearly 15 years. While not traveling with them full-time, the band has already joined New Ground for more than 20 dates in 2025, quickly becoming one of the most requested elements of their ministry. The lineup includes Nathan Burns (Piano), Jason Brown (Bass), Ben Sharp (Drums), and David Holt (Sound Technician)—a team that adds both dynamic energy and heartfelt expression to every performance.

   Anthem Edition burst onto the scene in 2003 as a trio called The Old Paths, founded by Doug Roark and Tim Rackley with a mission to glorify the Lord. The trio soon became a quartet and gained national attention. In 2012, they signed with Crossroad Music’s Sonlite Records label, releasing the breakout album ‘Right Now’ which yielded two #1 hits and earned them a Singing News Fan Award for Favorite New Quartet. Despite a hiatus in 2015, they returned to touring in 2017. In late 2022, the group changed its name to Anthem Edition and welcomed Andrew Utech as the new bass vocalist. In the fall of 2023, Cameron Edens joined as the new tenor.

   Dell, Susan and Richard Hyssong travel full-time as the award-winning Hyssongs. Their energetic ministry combines family vocal harmony, humor and brass instruments (trumpet and trombone) to delight audiences with their Christ-centered message, shared through the powerful medium of music. The family’s classical music background, along with their harmony and specific chord structures, lend them a unique sound that has made quite an impact on audiences.

   The group has been singing together as a family for more than 27 years. The Hyssongs have received many accolades for their quality, inspirational Southern Gospel sound. They were awarded the Singing News Fan Award for Favorite New Trio 2014 at the National Quartet Convention, Pigeon Forge, TN. Every year since then they have been voted Top Ten Trio of the Year.

   You can hear them regularly on Southern Gospel radio stations and Sirius XM EnLighten. Their radio songs consistently chart in the top 10 each month. “There Is A God”, “Choose Life”, “Run The Race”, “I Tell Them Jesus” and “Let The Hallelujahs Ring”, are #1 songs on the Singing News Radio Charts. The Hyssongs have also been on several gospel music magazine covers and their family is featured in numerous articles. Absolutely Gospel.com listed them among ten artists to watch in 2015 and their CD, “Faith & Family”, was voted a Top 10 album of the year in 2017 by Singing News Fans. The group has also been featured on “The Gospel Greats” radio program.

   The Hyssongs perform at more than 225 events each year throughout the United States and Canada. They minister in churches, auditoriums and on Gospel singing cruises, as well as on television and radio. They have had the opportunity to sing to an audience of over 12,000 people on the Main Stage at the National Quartet Convention, perform at Renfro Valley’s All-Night Sing, Dollywood, and Silver Dollar City. Through Compassion International, the group has also been privileged to sing in El Salvador, Central America.

   Channing Eleton Family began as a God-given dream placed in the hearts of Channing & Christina Eleton back in 2014. It was then that Channing, (GMA HOF Member, Dove Award Nominee and 2-Time Gospel Musician of the Year) and his wife, Christina, together envisioned ministering onstage as a family. The couple knew it was all in God’s timing when it came to pass.

   January of 2023, The Lord began to speak to their hearts again concerning the dream He had planted years ago…saying it was now time to step into this new season and assignment as family.

   Channing & Christina are joined onstage by their very talented daughters Chanler (21) & Cheyenne (15). Chanler & Cheyenne have such a heart for today’s youth and are inspiring young people everywhere to love and worship Jesus.

   Combining vocals, live instrumentation, original songs and hymns, an event with Channing Eleton Family is an intimate time of enjoyment and worship. The mission of Channing Eleton Family is to bring hope and encouragement to those gathered…and to present the good news of The Word to any in the audience that doesn’t know Jesus in a personal way.

   Channing Eleton Family is excited to come and share their hearts and what God has brought them through at your next event, worship service and/or gathering.
