The services will feature the music ministry of Gerald Crabb from Ripley, Miss. Crabb was born in Rosine, Ky. At 5, he sang for the first time in public at a church in Louisville, Ky.

At 16, he began his ministry, preaching his first sermon in a small church near Horse Branch, Ky. He has pastored seven churches, two of which he founded, and written more than 350 songs and has had 22 national No. 1 songs. From January 1998 to December 2006, one or more of his songs held the No. 1 spot on the national southern gospel chart for 37 months out of a 107-month period.
He is the founder of the the group, The Crabb Family, with his four children, Jason, Adam, Aaron and Terah.
Crabb has won multiple songwriter of the year awards, including five Dove Awards and the BMI Christian Songwriter and BMI Publisher of the year awards. For nine consecutive years, he was selected by the GMA to perform at the Songwriters' Showcase.
