Graham Kendrick to celebrate 50 years in ministry with special concert
Written by Rob Westall on 10th June 2022
Legendary worship leader and songwriter Graham Kendrick is going back to where it all began to celebrate 50 years in the ministry this Saturday.
Live in London, takes place at Community Church, Putney on Saturday 11th June.
It is the church where Graham, who is regarded as the ‘father of modern worship music’ took his first steps in Christian music ministry over five decades ago.
Fresh from singing at the 50th Prom Praise at the Royal Albert Hall in front of 5,000 people last month, Graham Kendrick Live in London promises to be a more intimate affair.
The composer will be delving into his extensive back catalogue at the event, as well as airing some new songs from his most recent EP ‘Where it Began.’
Since those fledgling forays into music half a century ago, Kendrick has written and recorded hundreds of songs which are well known around the world, such as Shine Jesus Shine, Knowing You, The Servant King, Meekness and Majesty and Amazing Love.
His music is familiar to millions. Many of the songs from his 40 albums have been sung in churches and schools globally, helping people to express their hearts in worship.
Graham’s music has also influenced generations of artists and songwriters to follow in his footsteps including the likes of Martin Smith and Noel Robinson to name just two.
“This truly is a special event you do not want to miss,” said Event Manager and AStepFwd Chief Editor, O’Neil Dennis.
“It’s a chance to get up close and personal to a true living legend and experience intimate performances of his incredible back catalogue.”
In December, Graham was honoured with a lifetime achievement award at the inaugural Step FWD Awards – the UK’s definitive Christian & Gospel music awards.
The partnership for this event was birthed when O’Neil Dennis personally delivered the replacement award to Graham at his home early in the New Year.
“It is an absolute honour and privilege to be involved in this event to celebrate Graham,” said Dennis.
“He is somebody who 50 years later is still active, is so real and down to earth, yet is still inspiring the next generation of worship leaders.
“He has a heart to share the Gospel and for humanity and he is great to be around and has so much wisdom, I just had to get involved. You do not want to miss this.”
