Faith & Freedom Concert

The Faith & Freedom Concert is scheduled for July 1, 2026, at the Independent Bible Church's outreach center in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. This patriotic concert showcases Christian music artist Charles Billingsley, who performs a diverse repertoire including Gospel, jazz, country, and popular patriotic songs, alongside the Independent Bible Church Worship Choir.

The event aims to celebrate America's 250th anniversary and is notably highlighted by the world premiere of Billingsley's patriotic song, "Under God," which draws inspiration from the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance. The concert's organizer, Music Pastor Dave Marion, sought to replicate a "high caliber" musical experience in the Eastern Panhandle, expecting a significant turnout from Christian music enthusiasts.

Billingsley expressed his appreciation for the community during his first performance in the Eastern Panhandle, hoping for future engagements in the area. The concert serves to honor and celebrate the nation's birthday and the freedoms it represents, while also conveying a message about a deeper freedom found through faith.
