Scott Brooks, Baritone
I believe that the Gospel of Christ and of His Cross is the most powerful message in this world. As Paul wrote in Galatians 2:20, true everlasting peace comes only when His people are "crucified " to Him. As the youngest of six children growing up in a singing family, Gospel Music has always been a source of joy and encouragement. Some of my fondest memories were listening to my parents, Ray and Athleen Brooks singing" Living Together, Jesus and I" or watching tears stream as Dad sang "The Pearly White City". After Dad "graduated" to glory, I felt God's calling to continue carrying the good news in song to lost souls and discouraged Christians so I began singing with my family's group, The New Life Singers. It included my sister Patty and Brother-in-law Jim Roach. A few years later, I was invited to join one of my boy hood heroes, Conrad Cook, when he first formed the Calvary Echoes.
"I am blessed beyond measure to be a member of God's great eternal family."
In 1977, I realized another dream come true when I became part of an all-male quartet, The Crossmen from Beckley WV. I spent eight years with these men and they are truly some of my dearest friends. In the mid 1990's another close friend, Tom Toler approached me about starting a local trio, The Master's Voices. Fairley and Eric Lusk, Bill Runyon, Tom and I sang together for about 3 years.
What a wonderful blessing it was when our children, Richard and Lindsay were old enough to start singing with my wife Anita and I. We still sing as a family whenever we can. In 2003 I was ordained as a Deacon in Lacoma Baptist Church, where I continue to serve.
I am honored to be a part of the GHBs family, proud to be a part of the singing Brooks family, but most of all, blessed beyond measure to be a member of God's great eternal family. Someday, "There'll be a Payday for all the Saints of God"!!
