TEXAS GOSPEL VOLUNTEER

A major honour is coming to one of gospel music’s own.

Southern Gospel Music Association President Arthur Rice interrupted a set at Scotty Inman’s Hometown Jam in Sevierville to announce that Clayton Inman will be inducted into the Southern Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame, Class of 2026.

The announcement came just days ago and drew strong support from those in attendance, who praised Inman’s contributions to gospel music.

Organizers say they are proud of the achievement and describe Inman as “the best of the best.”

Supporters are encouraged to follow social media pages for additional images and video from the announcement.

Plans are now underway for the induction ceremony, set for Tuesday, Sept. 29 at the National Quartet Convention. Attendees are invited to take part in recognizing Inman’s impact on the gospel music community.
