Although Bishop Noel Jones is renowned as a Pastor, prolific orator and astute intellectual, his church, City of Refuge, boasts one of the most dynamic music ministries in the nation, as Minister of Music Gerald Haddon (brother of Deitrick Haddon) has done a praiseworthy job gathering a fantastic array of talented singers and musicians. The successful 2007 Tyscot Records debut album ‘Welcome to the City,’ which featured the popular hit single “Not About Us,” catapulting Bishop Noel Jones & The City Of Refuge Sanctuary Choir to musical prominence landing them three nominations and the opening performance slot during the 2008 Stellar Gospel Music Awards national TV broadcast! ‘RUN TO THE ALTAR’ is their new release and second album on Tyscot Records. The title track is also the lead radio single; a riveting plea for the troubled to seek the love of Jesus Christ in their quest for deliverance and mercy. Other standouts include the energetic “Holy Ghost,” which will prove to be a choir favorite, and the urban contemporary winner, “Rain”!
