This month’s Lamp spotlight feature is on the energetic family trio from Fayetteville, AR – Gospel Heritage Recording artists – The Bilderbacks.
Formed in 1978, The Bilderbacks were the musical part of the evangelistic team headed by their father, Calvin Bilderback who pastured the Oak Grove Full Gospel Church in Springdale, AR for 23 years.
The group as it exists today consists of husband and wife Euel and Marsha Bilderback and sister Kim. In 1997 the group felt the leading of God to take their unique brand of music ministry to a broader audience.
Since this time the group has had many successes including several Singing News Top 80 songs including their latest single “Heart of Flesh” from their Gospel Heritage Recording, “Unbelievable!” This inspiring new single makes it’s debut in August’s Singing News Charts in the Mid 60’s, and features group member Marsha.
The Bilderbacks are also blessed with much original material including their previous popular single, “Unbelievable,” written by group leader, Euel Bilderback.
In 2001 the ministry of the Bilderbacks turned another corner, when Euel accepted the pastorate vacated by his ailing father, Calvin. Euel shares, “Working with my Dad during his 23 year ministry, I have seen God move so powerfully in different situations. When I accepted the pastorate at the Mercy and Grace Cathedral, I really didn’t know if God was closing the door for the traveling ministry of the Bilderbacks.” He continues, “God couldn’t have given us a better family at the church. We have a wonderful pastoral staff that allows us to continue to travel and share our mininstry.”
Over the years the demand for this awesome trio has continued to increase. Last year the group logged in over 100 events, and is slated to see a 15% increase according to this years schedule. In addition to church events they are also seeing a solid increase of concert events, in fact they just got back from headlining the Blue Springs Valley Sing that’s annually held in Cleveland, TN.
