Pastor Marvin Louis Sapp (born January 28, 1967) is an
American Gospel music singer-songwriter who recorded with the group
Commissioned during the 1990s before beginning a record-breaking solo career.
Sapp is also the founder and senior pastor of Lighthouse Full Life Center
Church, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was invited by Gospel singer Fred
Hammond to sing with Commissioned in 1991 after Keith Staten left. Sapp appears
on the group's albums Number 7, Matters of the Heart, and Irreplaceable Love.
Sapp left in 1996 and was replaced by Marcus R. Cole.
In 1996, Sapp decided to establish himself as a contemporary
gospel solo artist and has recorded seven albums. Sapp first achieved crossover
