Acts 2:2
“Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.”
Truly on the “move” spreading the love of God and the message of holiness, Elements has been featured and invited to numerous concerts, musicals and worship services. The ministry has been blessed to share the stage with some of gospel music’s finest. Elements has also traveled to Atlanta, GA (Ricky Dillard’s Birthday Celebration), Memphis, Tennessee (Kevin Davidson & the Voices Musical), and will be attending the Gospel Music Workshop Of America in Nashville, TN.
Combining the richness of traditional and contemporary gospel, the Elements has showcased memorable performances at the Annual Unity Breakfast, “Praise is My Weapon” sponsored by Total Praise Management, State Farm Gospel Expo, SCLC Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend, Emerging Leaders Conference (Alabama A&M Gospel Choir, Kim Burrell), “Praiz In The House”, opened for Jonathan Nelson at Miles College, as well as took part in recording sessions with Dr. E.

In September 2007, Elements drew a crowd of over 2,500 as they celebrated their (2nd Year in Ministry) with Kevin Davidson & The Voices. Also October 2008 The Elements presented “A Night to Remember, A Night of Worship,” “A Salute to Richard Smallwood” for their (3rd Year Anniversary). In October 2009, we celebrated our (4th Year Anniversary) along with the Fort Valley State University Choir. Satan has made several attempts to stop the movement of God through Elements, but to no avail. The enemy cannot dwell where God resides, and through collective prayer and fasting, and invoking the presence of God, the Lord has strengthened Elements to overcome opposition – that His glory may be seen. Based in Birmingham, AL, the 30+ Elements is among the most admired, requested, and favored music ministry in the state.
The ministry travels anywhere its mission calls, ministering from a diverse repertoire of gospel music: from traditional to contemporary works, arranged by Min. Beard. Elements, under the anointed leadership of Min. Arthur D. Beard, is sure to set you in an atmosphere of Worship. “This isn’t the norm, are you ready?”
