ABOUT THE WARD-INGRAM GOSPEL CHOIR. The Ward-Ingram Gospel Choir is a component of the First Baptist Church of Wilmington Street, Raleigh, NC. The choir got its start in 1970. Its mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through song. It is named for a late pastor, Dr. Charles W. Ward (served as pastor from 1959 to 1988) and Deacon Delmous R. Ingram, both of whom were very instrumental in persuading a very conservative congregation that having a gospel choir would honor God and would strengthen the church family. The accompanist for the evening will be Mrs. Gwendolyn Neale, the regular accompanist for First Baptist Church's Youth ChoirVideos
