Jerrell Beatty has been described and complimented as “One of the finest

that “Everybody is Somebody.”
We will have Bible Study and worship twice on day two and in the morning
of day three of the retreat. Jerrell Beatty and Bob Smith will lead this time of
study, worship, and praise. Plan to be at all three worship times!
Worship Pianist/Co-host: Jeff Cleghorn
Jeff Cleghorn’s concert and music ministry has carried him into many
churches of varied denominations in eight different states. He provides
piano concerts, leads music for revivals, and does worship leader supply
throughout the southeast. In addition to his solo ministry, Jeff travels with
his family performing Southern Gospel music concerts as The Cleghorns.

Worship Leader: Bob Smith
We are delighted Bob will be with us in April. Bob’s ministry exists to exalt
Jesus Christ as Savior, pointing people to His saving grace, and encouraging
the believer, by presenting biblically sound music with a passionate commitment
to genuine worship and an unwavering dedication to excellence. He says, “It is
my conviction and belief that if my talents are to have true significance in
ministry, I must be surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus. Music has the
prospect of ministering only when Jesus Christ is honored and glorified.”
