It's not exactly a split personality - it's just
two sides of the same guy. Both sides are passionate, powerful, and
committed to sharing the goodness of the Lord Jesus Christ with all
who hear. Both sides need to be heard, experienced. When you listen to
Marvin Sapp - the artist emerging as one of the most
versatile, dynamic voices in gospel music - you'll also see the
unmistakable evidence of Marvin Sapp the fiery, compassionate,
Spirit-filled preacher, who continues to serve faithfully as an
associate and youth pastor.
 Although he has achieved great success as both a solo artist and
respected pastor, for Marvin Sapp, the man of priorities, there
is no question about which comes first. "I am not a singer who
happens to preach," he says. "I am a preacher - called of
God - who happens to sing."
That's why when Marvin sings, he sings with the same power and
conviction that mark his preaching. After spending six years with the
multi-award winning group Commissioned and
Fred
Hammond, Marvin has since established himself as a contemporary
gospel mainstay in his own right. His self-titled solo debut and his
follow up, "Grace
and Mercy," received overwhelming critical
acclaim.
 In 1998, Marvin Sapp toured with the largest
and most extensive gospel tour ever, "Walt Baby Love's Power
'98" Tour. Featuring
Hezekiah Walker and Love Fellowship,
Fred Hammond and Radical for Christ,
Dottie Peoples and others, the
tour drew more than a half million people in 70 cities.
"God has really shown me that family has to
come first," Sapp says. "For our kids' sakes, we've got to
come out of our churches and do more than just pray on Sundays. We've
got to get out and make a difference in our communities."
It is this conviction that has led Marvin to invest in a variety of
community building and youth oriented service projects that reach back
into his own home community in central Michigan. He has developed
several scholarships and internships assisting local students who
exemplify academic and Christian excellence, as well as programs to
provide benefit concerts and school supplies for those living in the
economically deprived areas of his home state, all financed from his
own pockets.
Marvin Sapp says, "Jesus Christ is the solution to whatever problem
you are going through. He is the source. He is the author and the
finisher. He'll bring us through and teach us what He wants us to
learn from it all. Jesus is His name, and nothing else matters."
