November 6, 2015 - Keron Jackson is an outstanding singer with an unusual background, a man with a voice as big as his personality.  Of course, you’d have to either hear him or know him for that to make much sense.  Jackson is a gifted musician who has dedicated his life to serving God through his gifts and talents.

Through his vocal gift, Jackson has been transported to opera houses, national singing competitions, schools, and churches throughout the United States.  He has a powerful bass-baritone voice and a charisma that flavors his performances from opera and musical theater to spirituals, pop music, and gospel. Keron has performed the National Anthem at political events, including opening for Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum.  He mixes his God-given gift of song with a powerful personal testimony of God’s grace in venues such as The Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Baylor University Bible Conferences, Park Cities Baptist Church in Dallas and the Baptist General Convention of Texas Annual meetings in 2010 and 2012.

Jackson’s life experiences have greatly influenced his career.  He found himself homeless and helpless but God placed people in his life who loved him unconditionally, taught him about God’s grace, and encouraged him to use his talents to sing for God’s glory. With their help, he enrolled in Panola College in East Texas and later transferred to Baylor University as a music major.
“God has given me a voice to sing,” he says.  “I understand that it is a gift to be able to sing, and I’m thankful for it.”

There will be no charge for the concert, but a love offering will be taken to support Keron’s ministry.
