History

The Master's Own was formed back in 1982, after originally starting out as The Master's Four, and consisted of Allen Stout, Dan Stout, Craig Stone, Bernie Nelson and Jeannine Black.

The group took a break around 1991 as God lead each member in a different direction.

After a six year hiatus, and plenty of prayer, The Master's Own was reorganized with Bernie Nelson (original member) and two new members consisting of Bernie's sister Dottie Rhoades and brother-in-law Chuck Rhoades.

In 2001 the group was privileged to cross paths with Bob Melford. What started out as a fill in on the keyboard for one night has evolved into a permanency of kindred spirits and a common goal of sharing the gospel through song.

After 11 years of wonderful memories and good times, we have to say goodbye to our bass singer, Bob Melford. He resigned from traveling with The Master's Own to sing exclusively with another group that is closer to home.  We wish Bob well and truly hope that the Lord blesses him abundantly.  We will always love you like family Bob and hope you never forget us!

Over the course of The Master's Own history, many miles have been traveled in their ministry. They have sung in MN, MI, WI, IL, IN, KY, TN, OH, PA and also in Canada. They look forward to traveling to many more states and foreign countries in the future.

The Master's Own is excited about serving the Lord together and sharing the gospel in song.
