We’ve enjoyed the message in their music, but did you know that some gospel singing sensations also deliver the Word from behind the pulpit and not just the choir stand? Many of our loved and admired gospel stars have taken their gift and their calling to the next level by preaching to the masses every week.
Marvin Winans has been a member of the clergy for years, but remains a member of the Grammy Award-winning group The Winans, with his brothers.
Rance Allen has been a staple in gospel music for decades, and recently became a bishop in the Church of God in Christ. He is the pastor of New Bethel C.O.G.I.C. in Toledo, Ohio.
The one and only Shirley Caesar. This North Carolina-based pastor is known throughout the world as an icon of gospel music. She has been singing the gospel all over the world for decades, and has accumulated several Grammy Awards along the way.
Donnie McClurkin symbolizes real gospel music, while preaching the real gospel at his Perfecting Faith Church in the state of New York. McClurkin became a household name with the release of “We Fall Down.”
Evangelist Dorinda Clark-Cole is a member of the world-famous Clark Sisters (from the same hometown as the Winans — Detroit). She is a daughter of the late Mattie Moss Clark — one of the most respected names in gospel music.
