The Clock is Ticking!

Our 9th Annual Music for Ministry event is only days away! It's easy to buy your tickets today.

"Music for Ministry" returns to New Journey Church, 330 Deadfall Road W., Saturday, August 26 @ 5:00 - 7:30 PM.

You don't want to miss this groundbreaking event. Now in its 9th year "Music for Ministry" is expected to draw record attendance raising record-setting funds. People are still talking about last year's head-bobbing, jump-to-your-feet Christian Concert and the entertaining "Live" Auction, the new sister Auction to the original "Silent" Auction.

Glory to God! Greater Greenwood United Ministry (GGUM) delivered a record level of Medical and Crisis services in the organization's 28-year history last year. Funding continues to be critically important.

Greater Greenwood United Ministry is grateful to our Sponsors. The "Music for Ministry" 2023 Presenting Sponsor is Superior Roofing. These generous business owners, organizations, and private donors are valued supporters that play a major role in "Music for Ministry's" success.

Our performers, including worship teams, praise dancers, choirs, and solo acts, are the heart of this event as they ignite fellowship spreading electrifying glory to an audience that is brought to their feet often and with hands raised too. Clearly feeling God's Love in the room.
