The Pfeifer's go back to 1930 with a rich Nazarene heritage. The Pfeifer
family is one that knows the true meaning of the term, fighting on! The Pfeifers
have been pressing forward and fighting on in their walk with Christ for over 70
years. In the 1930s, their grandfathers began singing together and traveling to
campmeetings and tent revivals all across the state of Ohio. There was a unique
anointing on these two men, and God richly blessed each time the two stood to
sing with guitar and mandolin in hands, as well as their trusted songbook, which
contained more than 100 songs written by the two. Years later the torch was
passed on to Don Pfeifer, who traveled throughout the country, sharing the
message of the Gospel, preaching at churches, crusades, campmeetings and
wherever the opportunity was presented. In 1979, when his daughter, Candy,
decided to leave college and form a musical group with several of her long-time
friends, her father was supportive and encouraging, even allowing the group to
accompany him on crusades. That group, known at the time as The Believers,
eventually became the group that today is collectively known as The Pfeifers.
