| Steve Archer |
I'm going to "break format" with this post and announce a special concert opportunity.
Steve Archer will be ministering at my home church - College Park Worship Center in Greenville, SC - on Sunday, August 10. Two services - 9 & 11 a.m.
Of course, if you're even a semi-regular reader of this "Top 100" list, you probably already know that Steve Archer is a "Jesus Music" pioneer as the lead singer of the groundbreaking group The Archers, touring and recording throughout the decades of the 70s and 80s. During Steve's years with The Archers, he sang at the White House, at Disneyland, and on Grammy Awards telecasts. He, along with brother Tim and sister Janice, was a Dove Award nominee and a Grammy Award winner. They even had their own television program for awhile. I'm not sure of this, but I think that in order to get saved in the 70s, you had to be an Archers fan. [Our fact checkers are working hard to verify that even as I type.] The Archers are remembered for such songs as It Wouldn't Be Enough, Stand Up, Fresh Surrender, and many, many more.

Steve Archer also launched a successful career as a solo artist in the 1980s. His instantly recognizable voice became a staple on Christian radio with songs such as Through His Eyes of Love, Safe, and If You Were the Only One.
Today, Steve Archer lives in Texas and continues to minister across the country, maintaining one of the most enduring careers in Contemporary Christian music.
It is a special privilege to welcome Steve Archer to my home church in Greenville, South Carolina on Sunday, August 10. Come join us! Visit www.collegeparkchurch.org for details.
Just for fun, let's take a trip down Memory Lane with the Archers...
