Ministree

Ministree, is a unique group with a style all of their own. It is this uniqueness, along with unwaivering faith that has given them a "surprisingly" new sound in the gospel music industry and has caused them to beat the odds and begin a long awaited "rise" in this same industry that they have ministered in for nearly 20 years.

Cheryl Jones-Ross, Joyce Wilson and Zanetta Wingfield, have shared the stage with some of the greatest names in the gospel industry.
