The Cerces - Gospel Music

Cliff and Anita Cerce with Gary and Carol McSpadden, who founded and have pastored Faith and Wisdom Church in Branson, Missouri where Cliff and Anita are members. Pastor Gary went to his eternal reward on April 15, 2020 and is greatly missed. He had been providing mentorship and oversight to our preaching, teaching, and musical evangelistic traveling ministry. Gary had long been recognized as one of the nation's great pastors and teachers, having pastored previously for 13 years in Fort Worth. He also was one of the members of The Bill Gaither Trio (along with Bill and Gloria Gaither) for 11 years, as well as having been a member of the Statesmen Quartet, Oak Ridge Boys, and an original member of both the Imperials and of the Gaither Vocal Band. Pastor Carol still plays an active and important role in the church with excellence, and Pastor Gary's and Pastor Carol's vision for the church and for Branson is still being fulfilled in a marvelous way by our new pastors, Mike and Karen Brown.
