The Church of Christian Compassion, located at 6121 Cedar Avenue in Philadelphia, will host the “America 250 Unity Concert: The Sound of Gospel” on Saturday, October 17, at 6:00 p.m. Presented by Jermaine Dolly and Friends in partnership with Yesha Ministries, Inc., the event is part of a wave of local programming marking the 250th anniversary of the United States’ founding, a milestone Philadelphia has embraced throughout 2026 as the birthplace of American independence.

The concert will feature a lineup of gospel artists including Jermaine Dolly, Kierra Sheard, Zacardi Cortez, Vincent Bohanan & SOV, Leandria Johnson, and Josh Copeland, among other performers to be announced. Dolly, a Philadelphia-born gospel singer known for his energetic vocal style and stage presence, has previously headlined faith-based community events in the city, including gospel concerts tied to civic engagement efforts.
