A while back, Noel Walters and Darlene Chapman began something which over the next several
years will build from a dream into a monumental ministry.
Jericho Junction, a unique gospel group has taken the Gospel Music genre and brought it fullforce into the 21st century. Their story is like no other, and they have created a sound and impression
like no one else! Armed with inspiring songs of worship and powerful vocals that are unmatched, this
trio has broken down the walls of music and ministry.
Jericho Junction comprised of Noel Walters, Darlene Chapman, and Alan Johnson has more than
50 years combined in the Gospel music industry and this group has been a work in progress for more
than 10 years. Noel and Darlene have been waiting on God to say “it is time” and send the right person
to complete the trio. God is always on time and we are so excited to say our group is now complete.
Since its inception, Jericho Junction has toured extensively throughout the country, ministering
at churches, singing in concerts, and anywhere else God sees fit to send them. Currently the group is
hard at work on a brand new project. This new group of songs has the potential to be the most versatile,
spiritually uplifting music that any of us have ever been a part of.

Alan Johnson, the son of a Deacon, also grew up in a bible based; bible believing home and
music has always been his passion. Having studied music in college, not only does he KNOW music, but
he can SING it too!!!! Alan had sung in several country bands before returning to his passion for gospel
music. He is in high demand due to the fact that Alan knows how to deliver a song with his God given
