Rita Springer
Since the age of 11, Rita Springer has been playing piano and writing music. "I remember not being able to talk to anyone about how I felt, but I could sing anything to God," she recalls. "I now realize that the Lord was preparing me to minister through music." Recording her song, Make Us A Prayer on the Touching the Father's Heart #12 - Throne of Grace album, led to Rita's involvement with the Vineyard Music Group. From there she went on to sign with Found/Floodgate Records and completed 7 CD releases with them. In 2007 Rita released her first live CD on her own entitled, Beautiful You. She continues to travel worldwide teaching and leading worship. In March of 2008 she started a worship school called DIVE. An acronym for, Deep-Innovative-Vertical-Expression, Rita has an incredible heart for mentoring and has found it to be a powerful way to reach a new generation of worship leaders and worshippers everywhere. Her desire in worship is to see and hear a true, new sound emerge from the church! Rita is releasing new song singles in 2009 as well as a new electronic soaking CD called Be Quiet. On December 1st, 2004, Rita adopted her son, Justice Zane Anesu Springer. Rita and Justice reside in North Carolina, where Rita bases her ministry out of FIRE church.
