A life that glorifies God is a life worth living!
The Junior Tucker who you see today was not always a pastor. He started out singing reggae music at the age of 5 years, performing in nightclubs and soon becoming one of Jamaica’s beloved child stars and a household name, when he appeared on a “Nuggets for the Needy” television broadcast in 1971 and later delivered his first number one hit “Happy” at the age of 7 years in 1973.
Over the span of a 50 year music career, he recorded countless secular hits, including “Which Side Of The Coin”, “One of the Poorest People”, “Don’t Test”, “Move Along” and “Love of a Lifetime.” He received numerous awards for his craft and has performed worldwide alongside some of Reggae Music’s best… Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Beres
Hammond…Steel Pulse, Inner Circle, and Third World.
In October 1997, as the Apostle Paul would say, he counted “everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8). Since then, he began turning out Reggae Gospel hits, including, “Healing Me”, “Brand New”, “Sold Out” and “I’m Determined” and started traveling instead to sing and preach The Gospel.
In 1999, he migrated to the United States where over the course of 16 years, he was developed as a worship leader, pastor and counselor. Jamaica remained in his heart and in 2014 he returned home to plant and pastor Family Word & Worship Church, located in New Kingston, Jamaica.
Today, Pastor Junior Tucker, preaches and counsels weekly in his church. He also ministers in word and in song both locally and internationally… to the glory of God!
Junior has been married to Trudy for 32 years, together they have 5 amazing children!
