Jeff uses the messages of both new and the wonderful older gospel songs to minister, believing that a good spirit filled message is the key to a good gospel song. He also loves to lead praise and worship and is familiar with both the older and newer choruses and songs. His repertoire also consists of contemporary gospel songs.and uses Power Point for the choruses if the church has this media available.
Jeff lead music in his home church in Noblesville, Indiana for nearly 15 years and is very familiar with the old hymns, in addition to the new choruses and praise songs. Many of the songs done on the trumpet are Spirit inspired arrangements of the familiar hymns and choruses.
Jeff is an ordained elder and a 'Commissioned Evangelist and Song Evangelist' in the Nazarene Denomination, but has ministered in many denominations as God opened the doors. Jeff is also a 21 year veteran of the Indiana Army National Guard and served in the 38th Infantry Division Band for 16 years as a bugler and trumpeter. Jeff is also a member of the Grace College Wind Ensemble and the Lake Area Community Band and performs Taps for military funerals when called upon, and not ministering.
Jeff is also experienced in sound equipment, computer technology, Microsoft Office software, photography, and office administration and likes to help pastors and churches when possible, as a part of his ministry. No church is too small or too large for ministry.
Jeff would love to be scheduled for your church service or revival, or to your community event, dinner or luncheon. There is no set fee, but does ask for a love offering to be received or an honorarium to help support ministry travel and equipment expenses.
