Family and other interests...

My name is Pam Hopkins and I have been singing with GZUSLIVZ since it's inception in 2004 with my husband, Kirk. He is my best friend through thick and thin and he is our fearless leader, both in ministry and at home. Together, we have three kids and I am very proud of them all. In addition to singing, I enjoy painting, scrapbooking and hanging out with my family.

Beliefs...

I have had the desire to follow Jesus ever since I can remember. I was baptized as a teenager, but didn't come to a full understanding of Christianity until I was in college. I used to see God as the big hall monitor in the sky - just waiting for me to mess up. Now, I know He is my loving heavenly Father. He doesn't want me to mess up, but His love and forgiveness is unconditional. God has given me more than I could have ever asked for and I thank Him for the grace and mercy He shows me every day.

Music...

Back when I was a kid, we had these books in church called hymnals. They had hundreds of pages of songs with words and musical notes that we would use to worship each Sunday. When I got tired of singing the melodies, I started learning to sing the harmonies. This is where I fell in love with the way music can blend together to make one beautiful sound. Although I prefer more contemporary songs nowadays, I think it's rather fitting that my favorite song on the "Worship from Okeana" album is "Amazing Grace" - a classic hymn. I hope that you are blessed by our music as much as we have been blessed by bringing it to you.
