Time often feels like it moves faster when life is full of joy, and that has been true for The LeFevre Quartet. This group, known for their heartfelt music, is gearing up for a significant milestone.

Mike LeFevre, Baritone of the quartet, shared his excitement about what lies ahead. “2025 is a big year for LeFavre Quartet. We’re celebrating 20 years as the LeFavre Quartet and so that’s exciting. So we’ll be doing some special things throughout the year. Should the Lord not call us on, then we’re just going to be doing a lot of stuff. And if He does call us on, then we’re going to be doing a lot of fun stuff in heaven,” he said.

This upcoming anniversary is not just a celebration of longevity but also a reflection of their dedication to their faith and music. Fans can look forward to various events and projects that the group has planned to mark this important year.

As the new year approaches, The LeFevre Quartet has also released a new song with a powerful message: Things We Cannot Change. The lyrics speak to the constancy of truth and faith amid life’s uncertainties: “He is the one truth that remains through the things we cannot change.”

Old Time Preachers Quartet Announces Final Performance

The Old Time Preachers Quartet, based in Nashville, Tennessee, has announced their retirement after a decade-long run. The group, founded in 2016, will conclude with a final performance in 2026.

Les Butler, owner of the quartet, stated that the group’s mission was to combine preaching and singing in the traditional style.

“God had a plan and a time,” Butler said. “We have tried our best to execute on that plan.”

The decision to retire comes as two members of the group, Tim Owens and Lee McNeill, have taken on pastoral roles, making Sunday travel unfeasible. Adam Borden, another member, is now engaged in full-time evangelism with a busy schedule. Butler himself cited the growing success of his other ventures, including Butler Music Group, Family Music Group, and REAL Southern Gospel Radio, as factors in the decision. He emphasized the broader reach and impact of these ministries compared to the quartet’s travels.

Reflecting on the group’s legacy, Butler expressed gratitude to all past and present members, including Mike Holcomb, Jeremy Ballinger, Bob Sellers, and Isaac Moore. He acknowledged the sacrifices made by their families and thanked the pastors and promoters who supported their ministry.

The Old Time Preachers Quartet will honour most of their scheduled performances for 2025 and early 2026. Their final dates include appearances at the Spring Jubilee in Ringgold, Georgia, and Hullender Farms in Apison, Tennessee, in 2025, with their last scheduled performance at Teays Valley Baptist Church in West Virginia in January 2026.

Fans can continue to purchase the group’s CDs and USBs through their website after the retirement.
