Benefit Concert | Georgia Gospel Music Festival 2024

on October 15, 2024

Aid for Hurricane Victims

Friday-Saturday, November 8-9
Glen Haven Baptist Church, McDonough, GA

An unforgettable weekend of music features some of gospel music’s best loved national talent including, The Booth Brothers, Phil Cross & Poet Voices, Point Of Grace, Joseph Habedank, Karen Peck & New River, Taranda Greene, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Cana’s Voice, and The Jason Hoard Band.

Over the last few weeks the Atlanta area has seen an influx of people to our area who are here as a result of the hurricanes and flooding that have devastated many communities in the southeastern part of the United States. With this in mind, IMC Concerts and the festival team are thrilled to announce two very special initiatives.

FIRST, we want to extend a warm welcome to our neighbors affected by these storms.

If you are taking refuge in the Atlanta area and would like to attend the GA Gospel Music Festival, simply present a valid driver’s license from FL, TN, AL, SC or NC at the door and you and your household will be admitted free of charge!

SECOND, we are announcing that ALL net proceeds from the festival will go to Mission Georgia, a disaster relief organization for hurricane and flood victims.

We believe this special weekend of music and fellowship will be an encouragement to your family and we will continue to pray for comfort, healing and restoration.
