Jerome Bell, a revered figure in the gospel music industry, is set to receive one of the highest honors in the field: induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame of Missouri. This accolade is a testament to Bell’s decades of unwavering dedication to gospel music and his profound impact on the community.
A multi-talented force, Bell has worn many hats throughout his career. He has served as a gospel radio announcer and road manager for legendary artists Richard Smallwood and Tremaine Hawkins, and he is also an author. He is respected by peers and well-wishers alike. In 2020, Bell added recording artist to his portfolio with the release of Bridging the Gap… Generations, an album that was well-received within the gospel music community. Yet, among his many titles, perhaps none is more cherished than that of “Pastor.”
After leading the Maryland Christian Center for several years, Pastor Bell embraced a new chapter in 2023 as the Senior Pastor of Grace Memorial Baptist Church. Under his leadership, the church has flourished, offering programs and activities that bring the congregation closer to God and enrich their spiritual life.
The Gospel Music Hall of Fame of Missouri exists to honor individuals who have profoundly shaped gospel music’s legacy. Jerome Bell’s induction underscores his enduring influence and celebrates his ability to inspire generations through his music, ministry, and leadership.
This milestone cements Jerome Bell’s place in gospel music history and shines a spotlight on his unrelenting passion for spreading God’s word through every aspect of his life.
Other inductees include Ricky Dillard, Tye Tribbett, Liz Black, Eboni Funderburk, Kymberly Nosworthy, Erica Campbell, and more. The induction ceremony will occur on September 5, 2025, in St. Louis, Missouri. For more on the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, visit https://www.mogospel.com/
