Sister Mary Myers&The Team of Joy

The Team of Joy Gospel Singers began singing on Sunday, February 13, 1987 at the Bull Swamp Baptist Church in Orangeburg, SC at the Andrew Chapel Baptist Educational and Missionary Sunday School Union. The original members were Travis Glaster, Rebecca Huggins, Anthony Myers, and Brenda Myers. Their first song was “Lord Lift Us Up Where We Belong.” Brother Daniel Myers, Sister Mary Myers, and Sister Emma Mays advised the group for many years. After Brother Myers passing, Sister Mary Myers took over as head advisor of the group and is presently serving in this capacity. The group has been through many restructuring changes over the years, but through it all God has never left them. The group thanks all of their past members for the services that they have rendered. The current members of the group are Ms. Mary “Mama” Myers, Mrs. Melissa Austin, Ms. Kimberly Brown, Nikki McDaniel, Ms. Crystal Myers, and Ms. Alicia Summers. All of the current group members are descendants of fathers and/or mothers in the quartet field. Sis.
