What Others Are Saying At A Glance
"I produce almost 90 events a year at LifeWay's corporate headquarters, and 50 of them are employee chapel services. I've hosted a 'who's who' of A-list Christian artists and authors. I must tell you how amazed I was at the move of the Holy Spirit when The Pfeifers performed in our employee chapel. From the first notes of the first song, it was apparent that this was not going to be our usual chapel service. Our employees were led in such a wonderful worship experience that day ! The Pfeifers showed us Jesus through their music, the teaching from God's Word and their warm demeanor. Thank-you Pfeifers - for being so open to the Holy Spirit, for your musical and technical excellence, and - for being so "low maintainence" to work with !
I can't wait to bring you back to Life Way ! David Hassell - Corporate Events Specialist - Office of the President - LifeWay Christian Stores
“The Pfeifers truly excite me. This is a magnificient singing group. They can give you Southern Gospel. They can give you an evangelistic touch, and they can give you the ‘40s big band sound. They are amazing. Mary Jane Carter is way underrated. By the standards of any era of Gospel Music, they are great.” Roy Pauley - Contributing Editor - The Singing News Magazine
“The Pfeifers are first class. Their performances are always great. Six encores in one performance is a good indication that people love them.” Earl Aycock - Concert Promoter - Meridian, MS
“The Pfeifers are one of the few professional Southern Gospel groups to ever be invited to Thomas Road Baptist, and they did a super job. We definitely plan to have them again.” Robbie Hiner - Minister of Music - Thomas Road Baptist Church - Lynchburg, VA
“Without any doubt, one of the most talented groups in Gospel Music is The Pfeifers. Notice the phrase, ‘Gospel Music;’ the abilities of this group place them among the best in any form of Christian music, whether it be Southern Gospel, Christian Country or Inspirational.” Danny Jones - Editor - Singing News Magazine
“I highly recommend The Pfeifers. They are an exceptional vocal and instrumental group who has performed more than once at my theater in Branson, MO.” Mickey Gilley

Main Biography
The Pfeifer family is one that knows the true meaning of the term, “fighting on!” The Pfeifers have been pressing forward and fighting on in their walk with Christ for over 70 years. In the 1930s, our grandfathers began singing together and traveling to campmeetings and tent revivals all across the state of Ohio. There was a unique anointing on these two men, and God richly blessed each time the two stood to sing with guitar and mandolin in hands, as well as their trusted songbook, which contained more than 100 songs written by the two.
Years later the torch was passed on to Don Pfeifer, who traveled throughout the country, sharing the message of the Gospel, preaching at churches, crusades, campmeetings and wherever the opportunity was presented. In 1979, when his daughter, Candy, decided to leave college and form a musical group with several of her long-time friends, her father was supportive and encouraging, even allowing the group to accompany him on crusades. That group, known at the time as The Believers, eventually became the group that today is collectively known as The Pfeifers.
Over the years, the ministry of The Pfeifers has evolved and experienced change; however, God’s anointing and blessings still remain. The Pfeifers of today include Don Pfeifer’s oldest son, John, long-time friend, Mary Jane Carter, who has been with the group for the past 24 years, and Candy, an original member. The group travels in excess of 150 days each year, sharing the message of the Gospel in song in churches, concert halls, auditoriums and arenas.
We are thankful for our family heritage, and we are equally thankful for the blessings God continues to bestow upon us. Our sincere prayer is that our lives and the ministry we have been entrusted with will glorify Christ. Our desire is that we will always show care and compassion to others and continually reach out to the lost. The Christian life is not a spectator sport, and we are thankful God has allowed us to serve Him together.
We invite you to serve Him with us...step into this site, look around and stay as long as you like. We hope you will be blessed and encouraged to keep “fighting on!”
Serving Him Together!
John, Candy & Mary Jane
The Pfeifers
