MUSIC HERITAGE & MISSION

The Gospel Music Preservation Alliance (GMPA) is dedicated to safeguarding the rich legacy of gospel music. Since its founding in 1989 by Serena Blanco and a collective of accomplished singers and musicians, GMPA has been a leading force in celebrating and promoting this vital cultural heritage. As Philadelphia’s premier non-profit organization for gospel music preservation, GMPA brings together the expertise of individuals with over 150 years of combined experience in the field. Under Serena Blanco’s leadership, a board of directors was established, and committed members were recruited to further the organization’s mission. GMPA remains devoted to honoring gospel music’s profound influence on the industry, historically and today.

COMMUNITY SERVICE THROUGH SONG

Beyond musical preservation, GMPA is deeply committed to service. Throughout its history, the Alliance has organized benefit concerts and donated proceeds to support nonprofits serving needy individuals. Past beneficiaries include:

  • Women Against Abuse
  • Action AIDS
  • Women’s Christian Alliance
  • One Day At A Time
  • Wise Choice Transitional Home
  • Strawberry Mansion Medical Center      AIDS Services
  • Girard Family Center
  • Pennsylvania AIDS Education and      Training Center
  • OIC
  • Unity, Inc.
  • Women of Faith and Hope

...and many more. 

MINISTRY OF MUSIC

GMPA proudly holds membership in the National Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses (NCGCC) and has made significant contributions to the organization since 2000. Its influence spans the tri-state area of Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.


Notable GMPA musical entities include:


  • The Philadelphia Fellowship Choir (PFC)—Established in 2017, this 150-voice choir brings together singers from across the region.
  • In One Voice—A women’s chorus committed to advocating for causes that impact women’s lives.
  • Music Cabinet Members—An ensemble of gifted musicians, directors, songwriters, and vocalists under the skilled direction of Musical Director Karen Hines.


Together, their work embodies Colossians 3:14 (KJV): “And above all these, put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”
