Ronald J. Materre, a native of Metairie, LA, has called Houston, TX home for the past 25 years. Ronald's gift for church music ministry was first inspired as a child growing up in the Mt. Rose Missionary Baptist Church where his grandfather served as pastor in Brenham, TX. He studied voice, piano and organ and graduated from Southern University-New Orleans, where he received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Music. Ronald has served as Minister of Music at New Faith Church for 22 years where Dr. T. R. Williams, Sr., serves as Senior Pastor. Ronald's tenure at New Faith has produced a church choir that puts the "church" in church music!
Through the years Ronald's name has become synonymous with church music as he has served in numerous capacities around the U.S. including...

The flavor of Ronald's first solo recording, "Look at God!...A Collection of Hymns", proves to be quite savory as Ronald has masterfully blended hymns with contemporary gospel creating a project that appeals to all musical tastes. Spiritually, this project draws us to take a glimpse at God through song. As you listen to "I Need Thee" and "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms", you will be motivated to declare your dependence on God who is an ever present help to us all. The greatness of God is declared through the lyrics and melody of "How Great Thou Art" and "Sovereign". The individual in need of salvation will desire to experience the saving power of Jesus Christ while listening to"Blessed Assurance" and "Near the Cross." Your soul will be lifted as you are reminded of God's goodness as Ronald sings "Great is Thy Faithfulness" and "Think of His Goodness."
