Jonathan Nelson presents Full Nelson Summit…

For years, the gospel music industry has been filled with influential families that have changed the shape and direction of the genre. From larger collectives with surnames like Winans and Clark to smaller, yet equally potent tandems with names like Campbell and Dawkins, the familial musical bonds runs deep. Time to consider another powerful family. Welcome the Nelsons.

Recording artists and twin brothers, Jason and Jonathan Nelson, along with their older brother Pastor James Nelson, Jr., are coming together to present The Full Nelson Worship and Word Summit. The purpose of the summit is to provide training sessions in key areas to enhance the corporate worship experience. The summit targets pastors, worship leaders, and lay people. The brothers have always been encouraged to work together in some capacity, so they decided to focus on their strengths, which are worship and the Word. “It is our vision to come together to impact God’s people with key tools for successful ministry as well as empowering a new generation to establish Kingdom principles and best practices in the 21st century,” says Jason Nelson.
