In 2006, a group of young, talented followers of Christ began singing at numerous congregations in Southern Illinois. Their unique and fresh blend to southern gospel music has been a blessing to several congregations and crowds throughout the midwest. Because of the Lord's blessing, they have had the opportunity to travel to various states throughout the country. 2008 looks to be promising as well as concerts are being scheduled throughout the U.S. as well as in Canada. Please keep this ministry in your prayers as God continues to use it to spread His message throughout the world.

Justin Nehrkorn (Baritone), of Marion, IL, has been singing and playing the piano for crowds great and small all over Southern Illinois, as well as other states, for the last ten years. He currently serves as Minister of Music and Youth at the Heartland Christian Church in Marion, IL. Justin has a real heart for sharing the gospel with anyone. God has blessed him to be able to play and sing for several churches as well as offer his talents to various southern gospel artists.

Rindy Ozment (Alto) resides in Pittsburg , IL, and has traveled all over the United States as well as other countries singing the gospel of Jesus Christ. She works heavily with the music ministry of the Heartland Christian Church of Marion, IL. Being the youngest daughter of Dee and Dianne Ozment, of the Midwest's legendary Glorylanders, has opened many avenues for Rindy to sing the gospel. Singing with her family has been something she has always enjoyed and looked forward to doing. She also spent a number of years on the road with Eastern Sky and Steve Wilson and the Wilsons. The Lord has blessed Rindy to be able to sing in places all over this great country as well as Africa and Honduras.

Brian Smith (Lead) resides in Collinsville, IL, and is a talented vocalist, pianist and song writer. Brian traveled and sang with his family "The Smith Family" and blessed congregations all over southern Illinois. In August of 2006, Brian's family group came off the road. Brian still feels the calling of God to pursue the musical gift that He has given him and after much prayer began singing the The Nehrkorns in 2007.

The Nehrkorns are always delighted to accept an invitation to share the love of Jesus Christ wherever they can. Please contact The Nehrkorns to have their ministry be a part of your church service or special event.
