Denny Keitzman

Denny Keitzman has been involved with Creation East, Kingdom Bound, GMA Week

Through a series of circumstances, I became a Christian in 1973. A group of friends came to me and said, “You’ve done such a good job promoting rock and roll, why don’t you turn your talents to the Lord?” I thought that was a pretty novel idea and opened a Christian coffeehouse that year, with live music every Friday and Saturday nights.

I got involved with a group called The Fellowship of Contemporary Christian Ministries. Their ministry was music – whether it was radio, a coffeehouse, concerts, record stores. There really wasn’t a “support group” for contemporary Christian music back then – keep in mind that the GMA was mostly Southern gospel quartets at the time.

That association led to friendships with a couple of guys who wanted to start an annual Christian festival. My wife and I were youth leaders in our church, so we loaded up about four vans with kids headed for central Pennsylvania and that was the first Creation Festival.
