Meet Donnie Williamson and Darin Hebert with The Williamsons

Excitement is the best description for the Williamsons!  They have solidified themselves as one of the most popular groups in Southern Gospel Music, winning numerous awards and garnering numerous hit songs. The Williamson Family began singing together as a group in 1969 with Woody and Pinky Williamson and their children Donnie and Tennie. They held concerts and revival meetings in Oklahoma and the surrounding states. The group was reorganized in 1998 as The Homesteaders Quartet. This group officially changed their name to The Williamsons in 2008. Members of the Williamsons today include Donnie Williamson and his wife Lisa, their children Sadie and Olivia Williamson, Darin Hebert and Bo Chesser (Lisa’s brother).

The group’s mission statement is more than just a statement. It is the heartfelt desire of every member of The Williamsons.  It simply says, “The Williamsons will share the Gospel through music in order to see the lost come to Christ, the Christian uplifted, and provide quality Christian entertainment all for the glory of God.”   It’s easy to say that your goal is to reach people for Christ, but it’s much harder to do.  The Williamsons have such a heart for evangelism that they have made mission trips to the Philippines, Nicaragua, and Kenya and have seen over 25,000 lives changed.  They also travel across the United States and around the world sharing their unique style of Christian music in large concert halls, on cruise liners, and in churches of all sizes and denominations. They proudly support The Gospel Station, its World Mission Team, and its other related ministries.  In a recent interview regarding the Williamsons, Les Butler commented, “As their manager, producer and record label owner, I couldn’t be any prouder of the Williamsons. Although I’m proud that they keep adding awards to their resume, I am prouder of the fact that their goal is to add more souls to the kingdom.  They have been successful in both areas.”
