Standley
BIO Trish Standley is an active woman of God who pours her time, effort, and energy into pleasing the Lord. She possesses a strong faith, and credits her “genuineness to Jesus‟ to her upbringing. She was raised by her mother, a single parent, Ms. Janette Christie. She, and her four sisters attended Grace Memorial Church of God In Christ in Kokomo, Indiana, under the leadership of the late Bishop Milton L. Hall. It was there that she received the greatest gift of all: the gift of Salvation. She co-founded a teenage gospel group called the Sweet Sounds of God at the age of 15. She, along with three other young ladies traveled throughout the state of Indiana singing songs of Zion. Their group became very well-known for their soul-stirring ministry gifts, and they received invitations to sing and compete in competitions throughout the state. It was through that experience that Trish began to develop her talent for songwriting and arrangement. She was led to Jan Smith Studios where Canangela Boyd-Robertson became her personal vocal coach. Through years of voice lessons, paired with my continued spiritual growth, Trish obtained an array of ministry-enhancing skills that literally took her singing to another level. She formed the very first children’s choir at Calvary Hill Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia in 2000, where she faithfully served for 11 years. She was the Lead Director for the Voices of Praise choir, as well as one of the Pastor’s select soloists. While there, she was inspired to work with a group of young girls, encouraging them to use their voices for the Lord. The group, Sisters of Praise, soon became a blessed expectation among the parishioners because of their uplifting performances. In 2004, the Lord led Trish to form the gospel ensemble, AHAVA, which consisted of nine members who worshipped at various churches throughout the Atlanta area. Many of the members had no prior experience singing in public. She embraced the opportunity to guide and develop these individuals into ministry gifts.
In 2008, she went into the studio and began to record the songs that the Lord had given me. Hence, the journey began. In December, 2009, Trish released her first album. Now given the mandate to step out of a group setting and to minister to God’s people who feel unworthy of His love, compassion and grace, she is prepared to share her personal testimonies of God’s mercy. These testimonies comprise the lyrics of the songs she ministers on her albums.
“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” -2 Peter 1:10-11
