FAITHFUL FEW/MUSIC MINISTRY 

 
The Faithful Few gospel group was formed in 2000, inspired by the Lord Jesus Christ, the leader and manager of the group. Divine Direction's own Senior Pastor, Elder Charles Moorer, Jr., is God's chosen visionary of the group. 

Pastor Moorer always had a passion for music; he plays the bass guitar and sings tenor.  As he developed a passion for the Lord, Pastor Moorer was determined to use his talent to serve God and minister to His people.  Pastor Moorer along with fellow original group member, drummer, and now Divine Direction's Assistant Pastor, Elder Forrest Wooley III, would practice various songs before choir rehearsal at their former church (28th St COGIC) developing their skills in "playing in the pocket" to prepare themselves for the Lord's future endeavors in their lives.  Pastor Moorer and Elder Wooley were soon joined by organist/keyboard player, Elder Reggie Strong, and lead guitar player, Gary Wilcox.  That union produced the first line up of the Faithful Few.
 
The Faithful Few's primary mission is to outreach to all people across the world and not be restricted to just playing within the four walls of the church.  The group has a mixture of traditional and contemporary gospel styles with a touch of jazz and funk that ministers to all age groups.  The Faithful Few has accomplished many projects such as ministering and contributing at benefit concerts to bless the battered women's shelter, sickle cell patients, inmates from Marion County Jail II, senior citizens, people with special needs in the community, and most recently the Haiti Relief Service which took place at Divine Direction.  Future projects will consist of studio recording and traveling to various cities. 

The Faithful Few is a not a group of entertainers, but a ministry full of love for God and concerned about doing His will by spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ through music.

Many singers and musicians have been blessed by the Lord to be a part of the Faithful Few.  The Lord gave this message to the group years ago: "As long as the visionary is in place, the group will continue to move forward no matter who comes and goes.". God has been true to His word.
