A Gospel Experience

Celebrate and explore gospel music in Morris County at Bethel Church of Morristown. Learn about the deep tradition and rich history of this unique genre and how it enriched the worship experience in Black churches by fostering emotional expression, inclusivity, cultural identity, and social justice, while also evolving the traditional liturgical practices to create a more engaging and spiritually resonant environment. We will also honor the trailblazers who brought it to Morris County and sing some of gospel music’s most beloved pieces with special guest artists and the Bethel Church praise team.

Sponsored by Sankofa Heritage Collective of Morris County, Morris County Historical Society, Bethel Church of Morristown, NJ Council for the Humanities, and NJ Historical Commission as part of the first county-wide survey of African American history & historic sites, the afternoon promises to excite and inspire as we examine this unique aspect of local history.

Non-refundable tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door. Register now! Proceeds to benefit Sankofa Heritage Collective of Morris County and Morris County Historical Society
