Gatherings/Haps
Our COOP concerts/gatherings are free for the public and specifically served children, youth & young adults. Our first major concert the Holy hip hop Kulture Fest many years ago had 2500 people in attendance. In 2015 we booked Comedian Sinbad and approximately 1200 folks came out and had some clean laughter. In our last 3 multi-ethnic Youth & Young Adults Based COOP events we had a total of 1300 people in attendance. Our 1st concert 2018 featured Jamie Grace & Da T.r.u.t.h., the 2nd in 2018 featured 5 time Dove Award-winning artist KJ52 & Timothy Brindle and the last one Da T.r..u.t.h. In 2022 we screened our movie "Jesus Saves!" at the Historic Met Theater in Philadelphia & 800 people of all ages & backgrounds attended.
Fishermen began as a vision The Lord placed on the heart of a Philadelphia Freestyle Emcee as he was at the Crossroads of life & Christ was calling him to leave the life he knew to follow Him out of the mainstream music industry and into a pathway of CHH which had not been well-traveled. A few guys from Philly with similar backgrounds began fellowshipping together and from there came the Fishermen Fam.
From the beginning, it was always about magnifying Jesus in the Arts, in music, in film, and other arts-based platforms. It was about unorthodox ministry. The passion and drive to reach the people for Christ have always been the fuel that has run FMG.

We started producing our first Christ-centered hip hop album soon after receiving the vision to do this. In 1997 we began working on the CHH album “New Jerusalem” & till this day our commitment to magnify Christ through the arts stands firm.
