Faith Baptist Was blessed to Have "Greatly Blest" - I, would highly recommend this group for any Christian event or occasion... - thanks for coming Tina, Joyce, and Ed...
Greatly Blest was asked to come to Smyrna, Delaware to perform at me and my wife's wedding on May 10th and what a blessing it was to have them. They sounded great, were very proffesional and polite, and also assisted with the wedding march. I would reccomend this group for anybody who truly enjoys southern gospel music. Greatly Blest only asked for travel expenses and an offering for their services, we however gave more, they were worth every dollar given them, and we would love to have them entertain at future events.
Response from Greatly Blest:
Thanks William for the review. We enjoyed being with you all so much Thank you for inviting us. Pray that God Blesses you and the wife immensely in your work for the Lord. Hope we can be with you again sometime soon. Stay in touch.
Greatly Blest came to Hickory,N.C. which is about 5 hours away from them, didn't ask for anything but looking for a blessing, and that we did recieve. They truly stand for God and for their ministry.I would highly recommend them to any church or events.
Greatly Blest is truly the name this group is, greatly blessed ! All three have been blessed with voices and use them to praise our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. They are truly humble and anointed in Him. Their testimonies let you know they have been through trials in life, like all of us, but their sharing shows you that everyone is faced with daily issues but that our Lord will see you through, never leaving nor forsaking you ! If you get a chance to hear them sing, PLEASE do as you will be GREATLY BLESSED by Greatly Blest !
I work at a retirement community in Wilson, NC. I often struggle to find entertainment that all of them can appreciate. However, our residents said within their 5 years here they enjoyed this more than any entertainer who has come and sang before! They are also very kind. I would highly recommend them!
We have been honored to meet a lot of great people in the Gospel Music Industry over the years, Greatly Blest is a group of talented Chrisitan believers that live what they sing! GreatlyBlest was a vital part of Southern Gospel Magazine's First Annual Front Porch Singing recently held. I would highly reccomend Greatly Blest for your Church or singing event, genuine, caring and loving folks that love to sing of the mercies and grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!
We were blessed with music and testimony by Greatly Blest at our Homecoming Service. They in deed brought us the gospel message in song and deed. They were great to work with!
Greatly Blessed is a wonderful group whose music is so lovely to listen and fellowship with. I enjoyed the harmony and lovely voices of the members. The pianoist is so good and also the guitar playing is great. But the most I liked is the fact that they love the Lord.They honestly love what they're doing and it's shown in action and word. Thank you Greatly Blessed for a wonderful performance and may God bless you...
I had the privilege of hearing and seeing Greatly Blest in concert a few weeks ago at my Mother-in-law's Church in North Carolina, and I have to say I was truly Blessed! This group of only 3 members have more spiritual outpouring than any band I have ever seen or heard. Their music appears to come from deep within, and as I heard their words and saw the emotion outpouring from them, I could feel The Spirit move within me. I have never been to any other concert where I felt like the musicians truly lived their words and their talents were instruments from Higher Above. I believe this group has The Power to change lives and I have been truly rewarded for having the privilege to hear them!! Book them for your next revival!! No only will you NOT be disappointed, you also will be Greatly Blest!!!

A sincere desire to see the kingdom of Christ expanded. Easy listening music with tight harmonies in a true Southern Gospel style.
The venue type certainly controls level of ministry this group can and will deliver. In the church setting it is all about worship but we can be just as comfortable in a concert setting.

Greatly Blest is a dedicated group that “Loves the Lord”, are anointed vocalist and musicians, are ministry oriented, and carry on His mission in stunning “family harmony” with an easy listening style. As well as original music written by the group, Greatly Blest worships with a genre of well known Southern Gospel music, both Past and Present. Their smooth and tight harmony is in true good old Southern Gospel style. The versatility of Tina, Joyce and Edwin doesn’t allow them to classify themselves as singing a specific part. Tina and Joyce cover all of the upper ranges of Lead, Alto and Tenor depending upon the arrangement and Edwin covers the mid to low ranges of Lead, Alto, Tenor and even touches the edge of Bass on certain arrangements. Greatly Blest considers ourselves a regional Group, traveling the eastern United States at present, but is willing to travel any where the Lord provides the means and opportunity.
Tina, Joyce and Edwin are no strangers to Southern Gospel Music and are members of the “Artists Music Guild” (AMG). All three started as young adults and have played or sang with other Groups in the Past and performed on stage in a variety of venues. While with other groups the members of Greatly Blest have opened for other well known artists and continue to do so. Whether it be a worship service in a small local church or a concert in a much larger venue, Greatly Blest is equally comfortable, the main focus always remains to present Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and mainstay.
The members of Greatly Blest are related. Joyce and Edwin are husband and wife of 42 years of marriage. They were married in 1971. Tina is related to Edwin, they are 3rd cousins. Their Great Great Grandfathers were brothers, but that family harmony shines through. On occasion David Benton, & his wife Sherry, can be seen traveling with Greatly Blest running sound and helping dad load and unload equipment.
Greatly Blest in it’s formation, in 2011, decided that we would go back to the basics of Southern Gospel Music. Go back to the older songs mixed with some of the newer Gospel Music of our day and of course use the original songs that Tina, Joyce and Edwin have written, some of them dating back into the 1970′s. Many of the old quartets only had piano or piano and bass or maybe one acoustic guitar added to that. Just the basics. We wanted to go back to the basics and start there. Just family singing around the piano. Sometimes less is more, especially if God is in it.
From the smooth tight a cappella harmony of ”My Saviors Love” to the blues beat of ”Wouldn’t Take Nothing for My Journey Now”, we are sure that once you hear this group Greatly Blest you will say that you have been “Greatly Blest”
