Arise is a group of four men working solely for the glory of God and are fully committed to seeing lives changed through a Southern Gospel Ministry. The group was formed by tenor, Brendan Parker of Garner, NC in October of 2002. Brendan is joined by his father, Charles Parker of Raleigh, NC singing baritone and his brother, Chris Parker from Raleigh, NC singing bass. The group's lead position is held by Mitchell Dixon (correction: the lead position is now held by Ralph Pugh of Greensboro, NC). Since the group has started, blessings have been sent down from God. In this short time, Arise has had the fortune to sing on the same stage with some of the finest artists in Southern Gospel music including family members Ivan Parker as Soloist and Danny Parker with The Harvesters Quartet. Arise has been featured on regional television as well as the 2004 North Carolina State Singing Convention. As a quartet, Arise was honored as "Best Quartet" at both the 85th and 88th Annual North Carolina State Singing Convention as well as "Grand Champion" at the Virginia State Singing Convention. Arise believes in ministry and makes this first priority. Together, this group of fine men will work together with the guidance from our Lord as fishermen for souls; spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ through song. Please keep the members of Arise in your prayers as they head out to see lives changed. Click on each picture or name to learn more about each group member. |
