Cornerstone Church

809 College Street

Narrows, VA


Since this will be the last full concert of the 2019 Christmas season we’re looking forward to a glorious finale at Cornerstone Church in Narrows, VA. We’ll surely pull out all the stops as we review all of our favorites. If you don’t make it to any of our other Christmas concerts, you owe it to yourself to celebrate the season with us at Cornerstone.


2 pm, Sunday, December 8, 2019

Level Green Christian Church

3388 Cumberland Gap Road

Newport, VA

We’re looking forward to our first concert in Craig County at Level Green Christian Church. We’ll be performing selections from our Christmas repertoire, “Sing a Little Christmas”.

One of the oldest churches established in this area, Level Green has a distinguished history to go along with its prominent location on the historic road between Newport and New Castle. Come join us for a wonderful Christmas celebration at this beautiful little church in the country.


4:00 pm, Sunday, December 1, 2019

Roanoke Valley Presbyterian Church

1532 Catawba Road

Blacksburg, VA


We’ll debut our 2019 Christmas repertoire, “Sing a Little Christmas”, at a little white church in the country: Roanoke Valley Presbyterian Church. It includes fresh takes on fantastic favorites like “God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen” & “The Little Drummer Boy”, along with new gems like “What Kind of King?”. We’ll also have fun with “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” and our “title song”, “We Need a Little Christmas”. Check our our set list here for more selections from this year’s Christmas program.

Don’t be fooled by the name of this church, though. Just 5 miles outside of Blacksburg, it’s not really in the Roanoke Valley. But it’s a perfect destination for a scenic holiday afternoon drive.


7:15 pm, Saturday, November 9, 2019

Belmont Christian Church

108 Temple Street

Christiansburg, VA

We’re excited about opening doors in Hinton, WV with our “No Place Like Home” repertoire. Coal industry cutbacks have hit Hinton hard, and many natives have found it necessary to look for a new home elsewhere. Maybe this will be an opportunity to return for some of them, and, perhaps, find encouragement to carry the strength of their roots wherever they go.


6:00 pm, Sunday, September 22, 2019

First Baptist Church

108 Temple Street

Hinton, WV

Our “No Place Like Home” concert at Northside Presbyterian Church will be a great welcome to the community for many VT students (7000 freshmen alone) who are just now arriving in Blacksburg. You won’t want to miss this special event, especially if you’re a little homesick.


6 pm, Sunday, August 25, 2019

Castle Rock Baptist Church

201 Castle Rock Drive

Pembroke, VA


Don’t miss our “No Place Like Home” concert in Pembroke. Watch this page to make sure you don’t miss any of this special event!


4:00 pm, Saturday, July 21, 2019

First Christian Church, Newport

115 Rose Road

Narrows, VA


We’re looking forward to performing our “No Place Like Home” repertoire in First Christian Church’s beautiful sanctuary. It’s not huge, so you’d better come early to get a seat, because the acoustics are fantastic, and perfectly suited to choral music.

This will be a perfect summer get-together as well, with a community picnic planned after the 4 pm concert. You won’t want to miss this special event! Community members are welcome to bring their families as well.


6:00 pm, Sunday, June 9, 2019

Victory Pentecostal Church

680 Coulter’s Chapel Road

Lindside, WV


Our next concert was at 6 pm, Sunday, May 5, 2019 at the Victory Pentecostal Church in Lindside, WV. So our interstate jet-setting ways are firmly established! Watch out, West Coast, here we come! In the meantime, we really enjoyed performing in this beautiful setting before an enthusiastic crowd.

‍ “No Place Like Home” is the theme of our summer concert series & we previewed some of that music at this concert, along with some of our “No Place Like Home” repertoire, and our brand new toe-tapping Southern gospel song called “I’m Going Home”, written by director Thomas DeBusk for GCCC member Donna Davis, in memory of her brother, David Stables.

Wesley’s Chapel United Methodist Church

Bear Springs

Our next concert was on Cinco de Mayo, 6 pm, Sunday, May 5, 2019 at the Wesley’s Chapel United Methodist Church at Bear Springs. We really enjoyed performing in this historic venue, where noted circuit-riding minister Robert Sheffey preached, right next to the Sheffey Memorial Campground.

Narrows Community Center

110 Mary Street

Narrows, VA



Our second “Easter Parade” concert was at 6 pm, Saturday, April 20, 2019 at the Narrows Community Center. This historic venue has a walkway that completely encircles the audience on one level. Check out the pics below. We took advantage of this unique feature to stage a children’s parade while we performed “Easter Parade”.

Picture a never-ending stream of balloon-festooned youngsters in Easter finery piloting wagons, scooters, and remote-controlled cars. I don’t know who had more fun: the marchers or the adults watching!
