About Larry Smith Ministries?
Larry is not an ordained minister or evangelist but he is a Christian singer
who sings Southern Gospel Music. Larry is also a family man, father of
three and grandfather of six grandchildren and recently his first great
grandchild was born. Larry's endeavors in his music ministry to personally
select songs that uplift the believer while at the same time delivering the
salvation message of accepting Jesus Christ as your own personal savior.
The Bible quotes Jesus Christ as saying in John 14:6; "I am the way, the truth, and the life, nobody comes to the
father except through me." All of the songs that Larry sings share
the biblical message of salvation through Jesus Christ.
What is Southern Gospel
Music?
Larry's music ministry involves singing Southern Gospel Music. What is
Southern Gospel Music? Southern Gospel Music has been around for many years
and has been made extremely popular in the past twenty years through the
Bill and Gloria Gaither Homecoming concerts that are available on VHS, DVD,
and CD. If you have ever attended a Gaither Homecoming event or watched a
DVD or VHS or listened to the heart warming songs on a CD, then you will
have an idea of the type of music Larry sings.
What To Expect When Larry Travels To Your Church
To Sing
When Larry is invited to sing at your church he provides his own
professional sound system unless other arrangements have been made. Larry
requests that he be afforded the opportunity to display his recordings at a
table and offer his CD's and cassettes for purchase at the end of each
church service or concert venue. Since Larry is a soloist and travels
alone, he usually requests and receives help loading and unloading his sound
equipment and setting up and tearing down of the same with directions from
Larry.
A church concert with Larry is usually a 45-minute to 60-minute program.
Larry does not consider himself a christian entertainer although some people
are entertained by gospel music. Larry views his singing as a personal music
ministry to Jesus Christ and Larry usually takes time to share his own
personal testimony during his singing program. Larry has shorter programs
available when he sings at regularly scheduled church services and is very
flexible with the amount of time you want him to sing.
Larry sings at churches large and small and he realizes that many small
churches don't have singers in for a church concerts simply because they
have a smaller budget. Please don't keep that from inviting Larry to sing.
No church or venue is to large or to small to invite Larry to sing.
A Word About The Booking Process and - Love
Offerings.
God has always supplied Larry's music ministry with the traveling expenses
Larry needs when he comes to sing at a church. These love offerings are
provided by church congregations when Larry comes to sing. This helps keep
Larry on the road sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through song. If your
church or other venue would like to book Larry to sing, please determine the
date you want and then check Larry's schedule for dates of availability. If
that date is not listed as booked on Larry's website, then chances are that
the date may be "open for booking". All that is left to do is to contact
Larry by email or phone his booking office and work out the rest of the
arrangements.
Larry is very sensitive to your churches needs and is comfortable singing a
few songs for a church service, or a full 45-minute to 1-hour concert. Larry
is available to sing for church services, church dinners, fairs, or special
music for church revivals. Schedule a church concert with Larry by himself
or add him onto the concert program that you have with another singing group
that is already scheduled. If your church or group is interested in booking
Larry to sing, you may contact Larry by e-mail at the email link at the
bottom of this page or your may phone Larry's booking office and talk with
him personally at: 865-977-0315.
The three links below are being provided for an online press kit. All of
the information on these three weblinks are all any church should need to
determine if they want to book Larry for a concert.

other concert venue. Larry's policy for traveling to sing at funerals is
limited to the greater Knoxville, TN area or within a 50 mile radius of

Larry Smith Ministries /
NEWS
In August of 2004 Larry Smith relocated his home and solo music ministry to
Seymour, Tennessee, which is located eight miles south of Knoxville. Larry
is currently concentrating on establishing his music ministry in the greater
Knoxville area and East Tennessee area where he now resides. This does not
mean that Larry will not accept bookings farther away. Larry will accept
bookings from any church denomination within 250 mile radius of his home
located in Seymour, TN. and accepts bookings on a love offering basis. If
your church is a more than 250 miles Larry will still come to sing but will
have to request extra money for traveling expenses which include gasoline,
meals and a motel room for overnight lodging, this is in addition to the
regular love offering Larry receives after singing. Larry sings at churches
large and small so don't let the size of your church stop you from
contacting Larry for a booking. Larry travels to sing at churches on a
"love offering" basis and he occassionally accepts bookings to sing at other
Christian venues.
