Gospel Concert Fuels Rebuilding of Historic Ministry Hub
The Jamaica Seventh Day Baptist Conference Inc. will be hosting a worship-filled gospel concert and charity fundraiser entitled “Jesus All the Way.”
Blending dynamic music with theatrical storytelling, the evening will showcase an all-star ministry line-up: Kevin Downswell, Rhoda Isabella, Alicia Taylor, Kevin Heath, and Nadine Blair & Perpetual Sounds of Praise. A single live band, classical interludes, and dramatic scripture readings will create a seamless, immersive worship experience.
Set for Sunday, 29 June, 2025, 6:00 p.m. at the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre, proceeds from the event will launch a $5 million campaign to restore the Conference’s historic headquarters at 29 Charles Street—once home to Caribbean (later Crandall) High School. The aim is to transform it into a multifaceted hub that will include a modern sanctuary, dedicated youth-development and counselling suites, and fully equipped community-outreach facilities.
“We are rebuilding more than with bricks and mortar; we are strengthening and reinforcing a foundation already laid as we move boldly into the future and advance a historical legacy for the next generation and beyond,” said Pastor Kevin Carter, President of the Conference. “Your presence, prayers, and gifts will transform lives long after the music fades.”
Celebrating over 100 years of continuous ministry in Jamaica and across the wider Caribbean, the Conference remains committed to meeting spiritual and social needs.
Pastor Carter adds, “For a century we have proclaimed hope, educated young minds, and served vulnerable communities. This project ensures that our next 100 years of service begin on a firm, modern footing.”
With worship as its soundtrack and service as its mission, “Jesus All the Way” will be more than just a concert—it is faith in action.
