About The Official The Imperials Shoutlife
Founded in 1964 by Jake Hess, THE IMPERIALS have always embodied excellence in both music and ministry. Millions have embraced the quality, sound, and popularity of THE IMPERIALS, and they have become a household name around the world. With roots in Southern Gospel, THE IMPERIALS made a name for themselves and quickly became the most visible vocal group in Christian Music, even takeing a few years to back Elvis! Transcending genre boundaries and experimenting with new sounds, The Imperials earned a devout following in both the Southern Gospel and Contemporary Christian circles.

After more than 40 years of singing and sharing the Word, in 2004 Armond Morales sold the group to the four current members and they became equal partners in the ownership and management of the group. Though the faces have changed, the heart of the group remains lifting up Jesus and seeing lives changed through music. THE IMPERIALS are: Jason Morales, Jeremie Hudson, Shannon Smith and Ian Owens - a group of men who are ordained/licensed ministers as well as powerful and talented vocalists and together comprise a team dedicated to sharing the life and love of Jesus around the world. Excellence in both music and ministry has always been a hallmark of THE IMPERIALS and that tradition continues with the new generation of this timeless group.

MISSION STATEMENT:
To sing and share the gospel of Jesus Christ; to lead people into His presence; to call people into relationship with Him; to bring healing, strength and encouragement to the body of Christ; all the while living by faith and walking in wisdom, integrity and faithfulness to His call.

LIFE: From Your Friends at
Lingk2us.com


What makes you uniquely special? What would you do if time or money were of no object? Or what big idea have you been quietly nursing as time passes by?

Many of us spend our lives trying to answer these questions to no avail while others push these thoughts aside and get on with the business of practical living. As human beings, we are all not only born with inherent gifts, talents and abilities, but also posses the capacity to directly or indirectly impact our immediate surroundings. Yet somehow, much of it gets lost in the hustle and bustle of every day life. Think about the things you did as a kid, when you were limited only by your imagination?before paying the mortgage became the priority or well intended friends and family members callously wrote on the tablets of your heart. If you could mentally revisit that simpler time; obvious clues about your authentic self and your life's purpose would become apparent. Were you the 'go to' kid in the block? You know, the popular one!The one who's natural leadership ability and 'Big' ideas rallied the group into action. Or maybe you were the more creative type. The kid who explored every hue under the rainbow and through the use of odds and ends and other homespun materials, created imaginative designs that far superseded the ability of his peers. Whoever you are; remember that your true self (the kid you have been carrying with you all along) along side time, money and your ability to dream big are God given assets to help you reach your fullest potential. And remember that as long as you have the gift of life it's never to late explore the possibilities.
