Peggy Britt
Vocalist

Peggy Britt has been passionate about music for her entire life.  It seems that since her early years in North Carolina where she was born up until now music has been inextricably tied to her purpose and destiny.

After having moved to Portsmouth, VA in early childhood, her mother recognized her gift of music and honored Peggy’s request to take piano lessons.  Her music teacher, Miss Antoinette Watkins, also discerned Peggy’s gift as one that was above average and put her on the fast track.   She did not have to be coerced or bribed into practicing -- she loved it!  Miss Watkins entered Peggy into contests and competitions for which she won awards and received scholarship money.

After being an honor graduate at I. C. Norcom High School, she entered Norfolk State University as biology major, hoping one day to become a pediatrician.  However, fooling around on the piano one day and being heard by the right ears garnered her a full scholarship in music.  Finally her passion won out.  Now she was in an atmosphere that would develop and nurture that passion.  She graduated from NSU with a degree in Music Education and later a Master’s Degree in Theory and Composition. She also pursued a Musicology Degree in Musicology from Catholic University in Washington, DC.

After the life-changing night at a revival where she received Christ, her  refocused passion and goals needed an avenue of expression. It was at this time that the Philharmonic Gospel Singers, a community choir, was organized and began what would become a 20-year plus legacy of standard-setting gospel music for Hampton Roads and beyond.  They served to open gospel concerts that came to the area for artists such as the Winans, Yolanda Adams, you name them. For a short while the late Isaac Douglas was their mentor. They even appeared on the Bobby Jones Gospel Show.   In this choir, God had gathered some of the best singers to ever grace a microphone.

Pastor Joe Flores’ belief in what God was doing in Peggy’s life and his untiring efforts to support every gift inside her with his time and resources are yet unparalleled. Because of him, two recordings were released and her preaching ministry emerged. 

Peggy is just as comfortable in Denbigh as she is in Denmark, in Ivor or Italy, makes no difference, to many or to few. Wherever she has the opportunity to spread the truth of the gospel in word or song is where she wants to be. 

Now for the other passion and ministry that was to consume the rest of her life. In the summer of 2015 by way of Mrs Tammy Fraser, another passion emerged—she  began to pursue entrepreneurship through a company that has helped millions of people reach their financial goals and dreams—WFG, World Financial Group.  Financial education and literacy!  She genuinely loves to set people on the journey that will forever change their lives—fianancial independence!! She believes that if FAITH and FINANCES are in order, the abundant life that is God-ordained is possible!!

Her life’s mandate whether preaching, singing or financially educating is to Evangelize, Encourage, Educate and Edify all who will hear her via her God-given gifts.
