Rusty Douthitt and the New Life Choir

Rusty Douthitt and the New Life Choir lead worship each week at the New Life Assembly of God Church in Oak Grove, MO. The sixty-plus member ensemble includes members of all ages, and they perform a variety of selections, from Black Gospel to Modern Praise and Worship, with Hymns and everything else in between. Unlike many traditional choirs, the New Life Choir performs music that compels the listeners to get involved. Utilizing multimedia, drama, dance and even sign language, their approach is anything but traditional or predictable. This anointed group has performed with acclaimed artists such as Geron Davis and Kindred Souls, Alvin Slaughter and David and Nicole Binion, and were recently featured concert guests at the Steve Hurst School of Music in Nashville, TN.
Every Sunday morning and evening, you can find the New Life Choir cutting loose in worship with a top-notch rhythm section that will have you on your feet, shouting for joy.
Their musical style is diverse sampling influenced by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, the Christ Church Choir, and worship artists such as Clint Brown, Geron Davis and Mark Condon. Original compositions from group leader, Rusty Douthitt, round out their colorful repertoire.
The group was recently recognized as the 2005 Inspirational Artist of the Year at the 5th annual KC Christian Music Awards, where they were also named finalists in the Worship Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Group of the Year categories.
