The Southern Gospel Music Guild
is an active organization of Southern Gospel music industry leaders
working hard to expand Southern Gospel music's awareness across America as
well as to improve the professionalism of those already involved in any way.
The Guild has, in the past, fostered public awareness through the very
popular "September is Southern Gospel Music Month" promotion each September.
And the Guild seeks to improve professionalism within the industry
by promoting Southern Gospel involvement in the GMA's outstanding Gospel
Music Week educational tracks each April (see below). Paul Heil, host
of The Gospel Greats program, served for nine years as the
Guild's president. For more information about the Guild, please visit

The Southern Gospel Music Association is an
organization dedicated to the preservation of Southern Gospel music's rich
history through the construction and maintenance of a Southern Gospel Music
Hall of Fame and Museum. Opened to the public on April 17th, 1999,
the facility (seen above) is located just inside the front entrance at Dollywood
theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, where millions of people can view
interactive exhibits and learn more about Southern Gospel music. At the museum
you will learn about Southern Gospel music's rich heritage, enjoy a lifelike
"quartet" singing the way it was done in the early music schools, see an
actual bus like the one the Blackwood Brothers first traveled in, enjoy
interactive displays and much more. Hall of Fame and Museum admission
is free with regular Dollywood park admission. The Association is actively
seeking new members whose inexpensive membership (just $10 per year) helps
support the vital work of this organization. Separate donations are also
being sought to help pay for the Hall of Fame and Museum. Please visit
