GREENE — An evening of gospel music sung by tenor Jason Runnels is to be held at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, July 10, at Greene Baptist Church, 102 Main St.

Runnels began a full-time career in Christian music in 1998 when he joined Tony Gore & Majesty. In 2000, he was nominated as one of the top five young artists in Gospel music by the readers of Singing News Magazine.

In 2001 he was a part of a No. 1 song in America, “Blessed Be the Name of the Lord.”

After five years with Tony Gore & Majesty, he joined the Down East Boys from Reidsville, North Carolina. He has written five top 20 songs and had several album cuts. After ministering full time for 15 years, he left the road to be with his family.

Runnels and and his wife Theresa in 2013 launched Jason Runnels Ministries and in 2014 they took their family ministry full time. He now sings as a soloist and in 2018 was ordained to preach.

Runnels has been preaching revivals and homecoming services, as well as speaking for different types of conferences and youth camps.

This is a free concert, but a free-will offering will be taken to help Runnels’ ministry. For more information, call the church at 207-946-5505.
