are a group of six women who have dedicated themselves to become our  Ministers of Song by reaching out while singing God's praises to the world.  In 1996, Brother Bill (Reverend Bill Barton),  pastor of one of the most active Baptist Churches in Mississippi (Wade Baptist Church in Wade),  was looking for ways to involve Church members in outreach ministries and had noted the many talented ladies singing in the church choir.  The Lord had led him to see the benefits the church and the talented singers could reap by becoming more active in the Lord's Outreach program of a new musical group.  He knew the church was blessed with talented,  willing members who could lift the name of Jesus Christ to the highest.  With that in mind, he approached Cheryl Colvin with the idea of starting the new music ministry consisting of ladies in the congregation.  So, with God's blessed help,  and the Church's full backing, Cheryl embarked on the mission of putting together the most  talented members of the congregation who volunteered their own individual personalities and talents to the new ministry.    They began their ministry by bonding together in song as the now widely acclaimed "The Heavenly Hearts".  With each passing year they have grown in stature by adding new and timely music to their repertoire.  With the Lord's outstretched arms pointing the way, The Heavenly Hearts became a fantastic outreach musical ministry of song, encouraging seekers of God's grace to seek the comforting arms of Jesus Christ.

     After many wonderful engagements singing to various audiences in Mississippi and around the southeast, they decided to move into  recording cd's.  The Heavenly Hearts produced their first compact disc in 2000.  As their ministry grew, they associated themselves with the Emerald Coast Southern Gospel Music Association in 2001.  Through that association,  they signed a contract in 2004 with Compass Records™, a division of the Paradigm™ label with headquarters and recording facilities in nearby Panama City, Florida. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Heavenly Hearts!!!
