Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring
forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
John 15:16

All of the members
of The Couch Family live in Jackson, KY a small town in eastern KY, except for Sandy, she resides
in Danville, KY. Even though their members have changed they still have the same goal. It's to encourage
and lift up using the word of God through song and testimony.
They have pretty
much kept it in the family. The original group that began traveling and singing consisted of all six children of Elmer
and Irene Couch: EB, Sandy, Bobby, Mike, Anita, and John, as well as EB’s wife Eunice.
We can
still remember the first time we sang as a family outside of our home church. It
was the fall of 1980, in a little country church at Whick, KY. That
night, an elderly man who had never prayed before gave his heart to the Lord and was saved. A couple of years ago we went back to sing for the same pastor and asked about the elderly man. The
pastor stated that he was still praying when he passed away a few years ago.
They
have sung off and on since 1980 but have sang consistently for about eight years now. With
singing engagements in their home town of Jackson, KY as well as had the
privilige to sing regionally in such places as: Middlesboro, Campbellsville, Hazard, Campton, Stanton, Beattyville, Hyden,
Williamsburg, Winchester, Versailles, Irvine, Danville, Richmond KY, and out of state in Kingsport TN & Jellico TN,
Austin IN, Wayne MI, Detroit MI and Franklin OH.
Over the past ten years or so The Couch Family has completed four projects: Give Me Faith,
Apply the Blood, and My Peace. Their latest project "Under the Masters Wings" has been completed at Maggard Sound Studio
and has been released to radio.
