Southwestern Gospel recording artist Phil Dickey will be bringing a concert of Praise and encouragement at San Pedro Valley Baptist Church on Sunday, Dec. 18, at 10:30 a.m. through noon.
Though originally from Corvallis, Oregon, Phil has called Arizona his home for many years and it was from Payson that he and his wife Joy were called to a full-time ministry of encouraging the church through musical concerts, CDs as well as periodic writing for Ministry Letters, and occasional turns at teaching and counseling.
Phil has shared inspirational and Southwestern Gospel music for over 40 years, in churches and other gatherings throughout Arizona, Utah and California, as well as overseas while serving the Navy. Since 1992, he has been busy sharing his music and testimony in concerts across the United States.
The churches where he has ministered continue to invite him back and his ministry has grown considerably due to the reports from pastors. One pastor wrote, “I have found Phil Dickey to be a very good minister of CHrist. He is not just a performer, but, a caring Christian. HE and his wife, Joy, do a good job of sharing Christ’s love with others. I highly recommend Phil and Joy to the churches.”
Phil studied music at Phoenix College, while majoring in business, and served in the Pacific Fleet during the Vietnam conflict. He and Joy have two adult children and seven grandchildren, and have developed a great burden for the churches in modern day America.
The San Pedro Valley Baptist Church is hoping to share this talent with you, as a gift to give your heart courage in these troubling times and refreshment to your spirit. The time, again, is Sunday, Dec. 18 from 10:30 a.m. – noon. The church is located on Dudleyville Rd. in Dudleyville.
