Rev. Moorer confessed Christ at an early age and has spent a lifetime sharing Christ through the preached word and ministering through song. He will always be remembered for not only lifting the Savior through song, but through his ability to play instruments for the glory of God.

He relocated back to Georgiana, Al and united with Bethel Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Anthony Maye. There he served faithfully until his death.
