MISSION STATEMENT:
The Crusaders hearts desire is to spread the Word of God through the singing and testifying as doors are open. We do not like to miss an opportunity to share Christ, because we believe there could be someone lost in each service or someone needing encouragement from the Lord. God wants to use us, to plant a seed, harvest a seed, or plow the field. When we don't show up, as commanded, then God's Will is not done, in our lives. We and the people miss the blessings of God. The Crusaders feel the Lord has called us especially to the church, to minister to the congregation and hurting people. HISTORY: The Crusaders began this journey in 1988. God led David Talley to continue His work through Southern Gospel Music. The Crusaders begin to seek out and submit to opportunities to share Christ in Song. The Crusaders have seen many lives changed and touched in our services. There have been several members come and go in The Crusaders Ministry in twenty-one years. Each person has left, an incredible influence, to our ministry. God always provided as He moves individuals from our ministry. In the twenty-one years of service we have completed 11 projects with the latest being completed in March 2009. The Crusaders have shared the stage with The Florida Boys, Brian Free and Assurance, Ivan Parker, David Patillo, and Steve and Christie Bradford. In 2001, The Crusaders performed on Carnival Cruise Lines. We also have shared the stage with many regional artist, such as Crosspoint Quartet, Homesteaders Quartet, Hawkins Family, Velvet Ridge, New Liberty Quartet, His Call Ministries, Inheritance Trio, Heaven's Echoes, Hendrix Trio, and so many more great groups. The Crusaders have recently conducted revivals with Jack David Daniels Ministries and Homer Allison. The Crusaders have been blessed beyond our biggest dreams. God has protected and lead us through twenty-one years of traveling in a bus across the lower USA. The Crusaders are ordinary men, working and living ordinary lives, doing the Work of the Lord. God has put the desire on our hearts to share our testimony, our hurts, our failures, our trials and our blessings, to reach a hurting and loss world. More than anything, our desire is to share the Saving Power of Jesus Christ, to everyone. MEMBERS: David Talley (founder, baritone, keyboard) is one of the original founders of The Crusaders.
