DENNIS JOLLY
This is the first time in the history of The Gibbons Family that
we have ever had a bass singer. We were happy being a trio, but
Dennis has truly been an asset to The Gibbons Family bringing the
fully harmony sound of family mixed group. Before Dennis
joined The Gibbons Family he sang bass for The Diehls. He also
been singing for some time as a Soloist and has recorded his own
solo project. He is well known through out the gospel music
community, not only in Ohio but far reaching into other states as
a gospel music concert promoter and organizer. Dennis is the only
person I have ever known that lives on Easy Street. He
really does, because his house is on Easy Street in Manchester,
Ohio. Dennis has fell in love with The Gibbons Family style of
worship and brings the same energy and excitement as he sings for
the Lord. We blessed to have Dennis join our ministry! |

The Gibbons Family has recorded multiple projects and several
videos. Each year their ministry has continued to grow and expand into new areas.
The bible says in Luke 14:23 " And the Lord said unto the servant, Go into
the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled".
As The Gibbons Family travels the highways, their desire is to see the lost
accept Jesus and saints encouraged along the way. The Lord has blessed The Gibbons
Family and continues to open doors in their ministry.
If you ever have the opportunity to be in a church service, singing, revival,
or concert with The Gibbons Family, you will see a group full of enthusiasm
and energy. The Gibbons Family is known for their old-fashioned camp meeting
style singing. If you ever get a chance to see them get ready, you're about
to have church.
