The Hebrew Children are a sibling group committed to spreading the gospel through song and prophetic intercessory. Ministering together for nearly twenty-five years, when not on tour, The Hebrew Children are the praise team and band for Diamond Avenue Christian Center. The group began as The Hebrew Boyz with sons - Charles Jr., James, Jamil and Darrion - who ranged in age from three to seven years old. Two years later, their eldest sister, Naticia joined the group and eventually the youngest sister, Volanda, and cousin, Jermaine Graves. Thus the moniker changed to The Hebrew Children. The final member, Philip Porche, connected with the group when he married Naticia. Keeping it a family affair, the group is managed by their parents, Bishop C. E. Oliver, Sr. and his wife, Debra.

They have shared the stage with Dr. Bobby Jones and New Life, The Clark Sisters, the late Willie Neal Johnson and the New Gospel Keynotes, The Pilgrim Jubilees, Dr. Charles Fold and the Charles Fold Singers, The Williams Brothers, Mary Mary, Smokey Norful and numerous other artists. They also performed on the nationally syndicated Doug Banks radio show. Their impressive list of accolades includes McDonald’s Gospelfest Award Winners, Dr. Bobby Jones’ National Youth Group, Martin Luther King Award Winners, Starbound Award Winners and the Ohio Excellence Award.

Spanning a wide range of vocal styling, their music is best described as urban gospel. From the newly released project, Our Story, Offering is Christian rock with the message of being a living sacrifice. I’ll Keep Holding On is a mid-tempo urban-flavor song of hope and encouragement. And for lovers of quartet music, Victory Praise is an energetic, hand-clapping, foot-stomping song. With a cappella harmonies, rhythmic tunes and Holy-Ghost anointed dance moves, The Hebrew Children proclaim the good news in word and deed.
