Due to unavoidable events the Gospel Jam ministry opportunity on May 8, 2010 will be postponed. Keep checking for more details.

Fort Hood is the nation’s largest military installment. The American soldiers put their lives on the line everyday to fight for our country. We cannot forget that these soldiers are people with families, fears, hopes, dreams, and even doubt. They are in need of something that can inspire them to keep doing what they do. They need to know that as a community we appreciate everything they have sacrificed for us. The Gospel Jam would like to use this concert as an opportunity to raise $5,000 to help aid those families that were affected in the tragic shooting on November 5, 2010.

The Gospel Jam is an outreach ministry focused on giving Christian artists a platform to minister outside of the church walls. Those in attendance should expect an event full of quality Christian entertainment suitable for all ages.

The 2010 Stellar Award nominee, Greg O’Quin and iPraize, will headline the concert hosted by Gospel recording artist Monae Miller. The concert will also feature poetry and dancing.
