First African American President Of SBC Is Fan Of Three Bridges

Nashville, TN (November 14, 2013) History was made on June 19, 2012 when the Southern Baptist Convention elected their first African American President, Dr. Fred Luter. History was also made earlier this month when Dr Luter commented that he is a fan Three Bridges.
Dr. Luter is pastor of Franklin Avenue Baptist church in New Orleans, LA. He grew the church from a remnant 65 people in a white-flight neighborhood to a congregation of more than 8,000. Franklin Avenue is now approaching 5,000 worshipers each Sunday despite the depressed population of the city.
Earlier this month Three Bridges sang to the Louisiana SBC Pastors and church leaders. To the delight of Three Bridges members Elliott McCoy, Shannon Smith, and Jeremie Hudson, Dr. Fred Luter, SBC President commented "I love Three Bridges! I'm their #1 fan!".
Elliott McCoy, manager and Baritone singer stated "What an honor to minister to the Pastors and church leaders of the SBC in Louisiana. They are making a great impact for Christ. It was also a great privilege to be with Dr. Fred Luter and his precious wife, Elizabeth, again! We love them dearly!"
This has been an exciting month for Three Bridges. Lead singer Shannon Smith said “In the space of one month we have ministered at the Tennessee Assemblies of God Pastor's Convention, been featured in the Church of God (Cleveland) Evangel magazine, and now ministered at this convention.”

About Three Bridges
Three Bridges music is rooted in traditional ”southern Gospel” and ”black Gospel” music. This blended style has made Three Bridges an internationally-acclaimed Gospel group — one that is known for tight harmonies, a unique vocal style, an exciting and energy packed stage presence and, most importantly, for spreading the joy of the Good News of Christ. They have entertained and ministered to millions through their recordings, TV appearances and live shows — which is why Three Bridges has quickly become one of the most prominent Gospel groups in Christian music today.

Following the release of the critically-acclaimed debut album, Soldiers (2002), Three Bridges has wowed packed-out venues across the nation…from Gospel singings, business conventions, churches, political meetings, TV shows, charitable relief events – all the way to Air Force One! They have also appeared on many of the Bill Gaither Homecoming video tapings and were special guests on a video for the United Nation.

Three Bridges Featured In The Evangel

Nashville, TN (November 5, 2013) Award winning Gospel trio Three Bridges has some great things in the works and one has already come to fruition. A leading church magazine, The Evangel, the official publication of the Church of God, headquartered in Cleveland, TN, published a two page spread featuring Three Bridges.
Written by Wanda Griffith and titled “THREE BRIDGES, THIRTEEN YEARS – SOUTHERN GOSPEL WITH SOUL”, the article talks about an array of things ranging from their beginning and big song “Dear Captain” which pretty well launched the group's career, to their major influences and including their latest recording 'Twelve'. It also covers some testimonials from all three members of the group.
Jeremie Hudson, a credentialed minister with The Church of God, said "It's very humbling to be included in The Evangel. It's awesome when one's own denomination takes time and gives recognition.. I am very, very thankful."
The Evangel is distributed to every church in the organization and then given out free of charge to multiple thousands of church attenders every month where Three Bridges will be exposed to an untold number of new fans. Manager and baritone for the group Elliott McCoy stated "Thanks to Wanda Griffith for the wonderful article on Three Bridges in the monthly magazine The Church of God, The Church of God Evangel."
Lead singer, Shannon Smith, expressed his appreciation this way "We really enjoyed the interview with Wanda Griffith. She is such a sweet lady and she showed a genuine interest in Three Bridges and the ministry God has given us."
The direct link to the article in the Evangel http://digital.turn-page.com/i/202953 and the article starts on page 24, or the complete website for the magazine is www.onlineevangel.org .
For over 125 years the Church of God has been a distinctive movement focused upon communicating the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit. Presently, the Church of God has a world-wide membership of over 7 million with a presence in nearly 180 countries.
