What do you get when you take a little of Bill Gaither and mix Jerry Lee Lewis riffs with a touch of Andrae Crouch? The answer is simple. It is the debut of Frank Carpenter's album entitled, "Spirit & Truth". The title comes from John 4:23-24 (NIV) "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." This may be the debut solo record for Frank, but he and his wife are no strangers to music ministry. In past years, Frank toured and recorded with several groups in various parts of the U.S. The group that had the most influence on his ministry was The Crossroads Quartet out of Lynwood, Washington. After singing and playing piano with The Crossroads, Frank and his wife Arlene ministered as a duet in Washington and Oregon. They relocated back to the Midwest and have served churches in areas of ministry ranging from youth to senior pastors. Outside of their music ministry the Carpenters are associate pastors at their home church in Illinois. It is their goal to see the Kingdom of God advanced through their songs and preaching. The Carpenters continue to praise God for his faithfulness and his word that brings salvation, hope, and healing as they have witnessed in Arlene's journey through bone marrow cancer and various trials.
