Greater Vision to Make 30th Annual Appearance in Temple

TEMPLE - Greater Vision will be making their 30th annual concert appearance in Temple, TX. The event will take place at Wildwood Baptist Church, 5195 Cedar Creek Road in Temple, beginning at 7:00 pm. Crimson River Ministries is event sponsor.

This is a change in location from the original venue, Crimson River Ministries spokesman Tony Watson explains that the venue change is due to Covid-19. “We are thankful that Wildwood Baptist Church has agreed to open their doors for our concert. I know a number of churches are not having live worship at this time, due to Covid-19, and we totally understand that. I’m a church pastor so I’m very sensitive to that. We are looking forward to bringing Greater Vision to Wildwood Baptist Church”. 

This will be the 30th annual concert appearance for Greater Vision in Temple, TX, as well as the 30th anniversary for Crimson River Ministries. “Both ministries are in their 30th year. The announcement of the formation of Greater Vision was actually the impetus for the beginning of Crimson River Ministries. They announced their formation in November, 1990. We were the first concert promoter to call and schedule a date with them and the first Crimson River Ministries concert was in February of 1991 with Greater Vision,” said Watson.

Members of Greater Vision include Pianist and Emcee Gerald Wolfe, who is the founder and remaining original member of Greater Vision. Chris Allman was the original tenor, and after taking a few years off the road in another ministry, Allman has been back with the group for 10 years. Rodney Griffin sings lead and is the group’s primary songwriter, having joined the group in late 1993. Jon Epley sings baritone for Greater Vision.

Tickets are available at crimsonriverministries.com. Artist Circle seats are $25 and General Admission seats are $22. Watson states that masks will not be required but will be welcome. “We believe there will be plenty of room for social distancing.” Contact Watson at tony@crimsonriverministries for more information.
