Kris Emmert has been our Lead Singer in March of 2012. When he starts to sing, the excitement that stems from his voice lets you know that he loves the Lord.
Kris grew up in church, and was singing with his family at a very early age. When he was 12 years old, he invited Jesus Christ into his heart. A couple of years later, he felt God’s call on his life to sing for the Lord. It was then that he knew singing for Jesus would forever be a part of his life. Singing, as well as playing the piano and saxophone, became a regular part of his worship throughout his high school and college years.
While attending college at Southern Nazarene University, he traveled with a group called Highest Praise and Chorale. Both of these groups ministered across Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas at different churches and campgrounds. He has served in various areas of music ministries, including praise teams, and occasionally filling in as music director in several churches. Kris is also one of the founders of a quartet called the Spirit of David, where he sang first tenor.
Kris has a great ear for picking out the harmonies that come along with Southern Gospel music, and now has the opportunity to share God’s love through the Psalms Journey Ministry.
