Raised in a family which valued education and the sounds of gospel music, Gladys began singing gospel music at the Mount Moriah Baptist Church and had her first recital there in 1948 when she was four years old. Both of Gladys’ parents were singers in the Wings Over Jordan gospel choir. Lovingly and patiently the two siblings started to share the gospel with their famous mother, a devout Christian. He began to share his new faith with his sister Kenya, who, with her husband Jim, joined the Church one year after Jimmy in March of 1990. The Bible is a part of the Mormon religion, certainly, but on this particular day, Jimmy was reading the Book of Mormon. When he told her he was reading his scriptures, she was puzzled because she could tell that what he was reading from was not the Bible. On a business trip shortly after his baptism, Jimmy opened his scriptures on the airplane as he sat next to Kenya. Kenya is a vivacious and talented business woman in her own right. Next, Jimmy began to subtly share the new gospel message with his beloved sister Kenya. Jimmy and his wife Michelene were both baptized into the Mormon church on February 25, 1989. Everything they heard about this new church felt right and the spirit confirmed to their hearts that this restored church was the answer to their many questions and prayers. They welcomed the concept of family home evenings. Jimmy and Michelene shortly thereafter took the missionary lessons and loved what they heard. One Friday morning, on the way to drop Jimmy off at the Las Vegas airport for a weekend Gladys concert, David gave Jimmy a copy of the Book of Mormon to read. They quickly became close friends, and eventually the Siglers explained that they belonged to the Mormon Church. The Newmans went over to welcome their new neighbors, David and Maria Sigler, who were about their same age and had a 6 year old and 3 year old, similar to the Newmans two young children.
One day Jimmy and Michelene noticed a new family had moved into the vacant home located across the street from where they lived in Las Vegas, Nevada. His sister, Kenya Newman Jackson, also joined Gladys and Jimmy on these regular road trips as a business assistant to their entertainer/singer mother. As the business manager for his famous mother, Gladys Knight, Jimmy often spent weekends traveling with his mother to concerts around the world. They prayed that God would lead them to a religion where they would find true doctrine and where they could raise their growing family in an increasingly wicked world. After attending different church services, Jimmy and his wife decided to continue searching for the true church. Since graduating from the University of San Diego in 1984 with a degree in business at the age of 22, Jimmy had managed his mother’s group – Gladys Knight and the Pips. But with 2 small children they searched for a new religion for their growing family. Jimmy and his wife Michelene had both been raised Catholic and had been married in a Catholic church.
