In this session, Kevin Levellie will teach you based on his experience operating a traveling music ministry. Kevin and his wife, Jeanette went from ground zero to an area ministry in churches and other venues in one year. While they did not sing on the professional circuit, they were able to perform regularly and had a major impact. He will share the things they did in the beginning and how they were effective. Also, we’ll talk about maintaining your spirit and sound and purpose and focus on the road.
This presentation will end with a moving story on why doing small is absolutely worth it. This will not be a session on marketing or finding a record company or promoter or agent to handle your group, but about how to operate as a group musically and in ministry.

Kevin Don Levellie has done music all his life. He sang his first solo in the first grade for a Sunday morning Children’s Day program – “For God So Loved The World”. Just before entering third grade he started taking piano lessons. From then on he was always in groups, chorally and instrumentally. In college he sang with The Sons Of God Quartet, traveling extensively over the West Coast.
Later, in 1983 his wife, Jeanette, and he began a traveling music ministry which was on the road for 17 years. That ministry was based on and rooted in his songs which were rooted in Jesus and the scriptures. He made recordings with both groups. He has written over 2000 songs and over 35 books, 5 of which are exclusively on music. Others have extensive sections on music.
Since 1974 he has preached in churches in California and Illinois where he is currently at the Nevins Christian Church of Paris, Illinois. He was the first of nine area pianists who played at the dedicatory concert for the new grand piano at the Paris Center Of Fine Arts.
