Gerrie Saxon Speaker & Musician
Gerrie was born, brought up, and educated in Mississippi, but says she got to Georgia as soon as she could! She is a graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi, attended New Orleans Baptist Seminary, and her career has been in both education and church music ministry.
While teaching from God's Word is a passion which has no equal, Gerrie says her most important "job" was and is being the mother of three daughters, and now the grandmother of eleven wonderful young people. Gerrie and her husband, Kenneth, were married for 55 years before Kenneth went home to his Lord in 2012.
Currently, Gerrie lives in Loganville, GA., is Music Director at Milstead Baptist Church in Conyers, GA., and is also a member of the Georgia Baptist Music ministry group, the Jubalheirs.
