Before there was Groovin’ in Bethlehem, there were three voices, one mission, and a whole lot of funk-fueled faith. The Sanctified Sisters didn’t just grow up in the gospel—they lived it. Born into Sunday choirs and raised on testimonies strong enough to shake the pews, these ladies knew from day one that their voices were destined for something divine.

But destiny took a turn when one fateful Christmas Eve in 1983, the Sisters found themselves in a church basement, trapped by a freak snowstorm with only a keyboard, a tambourine, and a half-eaten fruitcake. Instead of calling it a night, they called on the Spirit—and the groove. That night, the first spark of Groovin’ in Bethlehem was born.

This album isn’t just about Christmas cheer—it’s about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ with the rhythm, soul, and undeniable joy He brings to the world. With 80s R&B harmonies, funk-inspired basslines, and a groove that makes angels want to boogie, the Sanctified Sisters take listeners on a joyful, spirit-filled ride through the Nativity story—with a beat so divine, even the wise men would’ve been nodding along.

So turn it up, feel the holy funk, and let Groovin’ in Bethlehem remind you that rejoicing in Christ should always come with a little bit of soul.
