In February, 2003 under the direction of Lady Michele Dix, a choir, destined and ordained by God to fulfill a great mission in the expansion of His Kingdom, affectionately named the Sanctuary Choir, debuted during a Black History program with approximately 20 members. God took the choir to another level as it grew to approximately 30 members and welcomed Min. Lionel Walker as the Minister of Music and the choir was renamed to the PASSAGE Chorale. Min. Walker served the PASSAGE Chorale from 2003 to 2006. During this time, praise & worship leader Eugene “Billy” Phillips was appointed as Assistant Minister of Music in 2005 and later appointed to Associate Pastor of Music, Worship and the Arts in 2006 and served faithfully until 2009. During an awesome move of God in 2006, Senior Pastor George renamed the choir NEXT DIMENSION to declare and represent the levels, we as a ministry, was soaring to -the NEXT DIMENSION: that ever expanding realm of abundant power, abundant glory and abundant provision. For a six month term, Bro. Ivan Douglas was appointed Minister of Music and was succeeded by Bro. Jarred Evans, who served as a musician for PASSAGE since 2005, as Director of Music effective 2008. In 2009, Min. Evette Hutchinson was appointed Executive Director of Music, Worship and the Arts along with Min. Palenthia Boswell who was appointed Assistant Executive Director of Music, Worship and the Arts. The current directors of NEXT DIMENSION are Min. Romona Akins, Min. Palenthia Boswell and Cassie Dix accompanied with an awesome band of musicians consisting of Jarred Evans (Keyboard/Organ), Johnny Boswell, Jr (Drummer), Cephas Small (Saxophonist) and Carlon Hunt (Drummer). With 64 active members making up NEXT DIMENSION, we are continuing to grow exponentially and spiritually under the dynamic leadership of Sr. Pastor George and Lady Michele Dix as we strive to fulfill the God given Vision of PASSAGE Family Church as well as answer the Great Call to Kingdom Expansion, by reaching people where they are through anointed music and proclaiming that we are FOREVER Changed, NEVER to be the same again! |
