BIOGRAPHY Combine the quality of classic family groups from the thrilling early years of gospel music with a modern American family that is gifted to serve, and you have discovered the exciting ministry of The Quicks. This vintage modern style in their music and presentation merges to share the incredible love of Christ through what they sing and what they have lived. Tim and Sally founded The Quicks Ministries, along with their daughters Rachel and Rebecca, in 1999 at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. For over twenty-two years, Tim and Sally have continued to pursue reaching the world with the gospel through live performances, television appearances, and radio, with a successful charting history from their contributions to radio. Tim and Sally are now joined by their daughter Rebecca. After Tim retired from the Air Force in 2002, the family moved to Tennessee and began their professional recording career in Nashville. The Quicks’ first CD, the traditionally Southern Gospel "Something Old, Something New," and the adventurous follow up project, "What are You Waiting For!" established the foundation for the unique harmonies that would become the “Quick” Style. In 2006, the quartet narrowed to a trio after the marriage of the oldest Quick daughter Rachel but continued their mission with their third national recording, "The Word is Out." This album propelled the trio to another level of evangelism with a collection of songs that speak to both young and old alike. Their single “The Word is Out” was an online radio 2007 song of the year. Released in the fall of 2010, "The Quicks – Hymns," produced by group members Sally Quick and Rebecca Quick Greer, was a labor of love taking over two years to complete. After the unexpected loss of Tim and Sally’s first grandchild in October 2009, the family considered closing down the ministry as they reeled from the weight of the grief. Tim, Sally, and Rebecca made a decision to finish the hymn project they had begun, which proved to be one of the most important decisions of their years in ministry. Through the course of the recording process, they felt God’s love and sufficient grace carrying them through a progressive healing time. As God continued to do what He does best, the family not only found the strength to continue, but a new passion sparked in each of their hearts that is now an unquenchable resolve to sing and tell of His great love. The musical blend of this group is mirrored by a closeness in their daily walk with the Lord and with each other. This is a hard-working family that functions as a unit, yet is still free to express their own unique personalities. Paul Heil of The Gospel Greats has described The Quicks as a “young energetic family with close harmony, commitment to God, and strong lyrics.” Listeners will experience a fresh approach with original songs, gospel classics, and hymns of the church. Learn about the God this family has chosen to serve and understand how they continue trusting and believing in Him and can truly say, “It’s a Wonderful Life… of Ministry!” MEMBERS TIM QUICKHead of the group and lead singer is Tim Quick. Tim began getting involved in music through the marching band in Junior high school. He continued to build his interest in music through his high school years with the band and was a featured soloist on Trombone. It was during this time that Tim began singing with the Sunshine Singers, a group of talented youth from church. Tim became a Christian at the age of eleven at a city-wide revival and his love for the church was evident in his music. Tim has a very energetic personality and a wonderful sense of humor. Audiences are delighted by his ability to energize a song such as the family’s first radio single, “He Can Move the Water.” It is that same energy that helped to see their first release make the Singing News Charts in 2005. Diagnosed with a genetic lung disease in the year 2000, Tim has a stirring testimony of the sufficient grace of God! He proudly served in the United States Air Force, retiring as a Technical Sergeant after 20 years. When you meet Tim Quick, you’ve met a friend for life. SALLY QUICK Alto Singer for The Quicks is Tim’s wife, Sally. She is tremendously devoted to standing by Tim – together they have worked to raise their daughters, Rachel and Rebecca, in a loving Christian home. Her deep love for her family is fostered further by her deep love for God, which led her to Gospel music and singing God’s song when she was very young. At the age of four, she received a guitar as a gift, and as she puts it, was soon “eat up” with music! Her passion for music merged with her love for the Lord and His Word when she began to write Gospel music at only 13 years of age. Her smooth rich alto voice helps provide the foundation for the “Quick” sound. One of the most promising songwriters in the industry today, Sally has a long history of penning songs that encourage, comfort, and reassure people of God’s love. Sally writes most of the music you will hear from this family including their Top 40 radio release, “It’s a Sure Thing,” found on their CD, What Are You Waiting For! and “The Word is Out” from the recording of the same title. REBECCA GREER Rebecca is one of the biggest Southern Gospel Music fans you will ever meet but you could say the feeling is mutual. In 2007, Rebecca was within the Top 10 nominees for the Southern Gospel Music’s 2007 Favorite Young Artist Award. Rebecca’s genuine love for Gospel music led her to begin singing at an early age. The first to be chosen All-State from her Middle School to leading worship at Alpha/Omega College Ministries, the passion the Lord sparked in her for ministering to others through music is unstoppable. Rebecca graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in May 2011 with a degree in Music Business. Two months later, Rebecca married God’s perfect choice for her, Justin Greer. MISSION STATEMENT
