Soul Purpose® is an extended family southern gospel group from Grove City, Ohio. Their ministry began in 1972 under the name The Sounds of Joy and in 1995 they began a fresh start under their current name “Soul Purpose”. The name just seemed to fit. “Your Soul is our Purpose” as the group says.
Their songs convey the joy and excitement of knowing Jesus. “Our Lord has called us to go and tell the world the Good News. We’re just so honored to be doing our part to show others through Southern Gospel Music that Jesus Christ IS the way, the truth and the life. Our desire is to see a lost and dying world saved through the grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
They easily transition from quartet to trio to solo presentations to create a unique, yet powerful sound. They have carried the Gospel to numerous churches in Ohio and surrounding states and have performed at the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, KY, Ohio State Convention of Baptists, Northern Gospel Singing Convention, and several arts festivals.
They have recorded three (3) CD's: There Is Comin’ A Great Day, Born to Praise the Lord, and their new August 2011 release, "Heaven is Mine". Misty Clapsaddle also produced a solo CD entitled Count Your Blessings. Their albums incorporate those good old gospel songs as well as more current releases making a great collection of gospel music.
Soul Purpose continues to be in demand and was the "Featured Group" on Gospel Music Today in November 2011. They have shared the stage with many nationally known groups/soloists such as: The Blackwood Brothers Quartet, The Dove Brothers, Down East Boys, HisSong, Soul’d Out Quartet, Triumphant Quartet, Squire Parsons, Sue Dodge, Ryan Seaton and more.
The group looks forward to the 2012 Evening of Southern Gospel Music Series at the First Baptist Church of Grove City, 3301 Orders Road featuring the nationally known Southern Gospel groups: Southern Sound Quartet, HisSong, Triumphant Quartet and The Dove Brothers and Dove Brothers Band.
