Jerry Moyer founded the Jubilee Gang in 1991 in Portsmouth, Oregon, and has since ministered in 45 states as well as Puerto Rico, Canada and Russia.

Way of Holiness Church administrator Thomas Akers encourages church members — and anyone who’s interested — to come out for the shows.

“The Jubilee Gang has been effectively ministering to kids, teenagers and adults for nearly 30 years,” Akers said. “We have invited them to our community in an effort to bring families and churches together to worship God. Our desire is to see families strengthened, lives changed, and a community being a part of what God is doing. I encourage everyone to attend and experience God’s love and joy.”
