Terry began singing gospel music in his home town church when he was five years old. Through the years, his ministry developed into a family music ministry including his wife and daughters. For years, the family traveled on weekends and during vacations sharing the gospel message in music at churches, conventions and community events. In time, the girls grew up, moved away from home and started their own families and the ministry has once again become just Terry sharing the gospel message with his beautiful baritone voice. Terry’s concert is a reflection of the past forty years in gospel music from the old familiar hymns through the Bill Gaither era of the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s to the contemporary styles of today. Come and be blessed as he takes the audience for a stroll down the memory lane of gospel music.
