Kevin Barnett

Background: Kevin was born and raised in Southern Indiana, surrounded by loving family and friends. When he was just a little boy, his grandmother and his mother would put a microphone in his hands and say, "Sing Kevin! Sing!" Little did they know that what they were doing was all a part of the bigger plan God had for Kevin's life and ministry in the years following. Kevin wrote his first song while in the 5th grade. He is self taught and plays the piano by ear. He won various talent shows in grade school and was awarded the best vocal music student in his middle school for 8th grade graduation. Throughout high school, his passion for music and ministry grew even more. In 1990 Kevin formed a Christian Rock band with his cousin and were a very popular local band opening for bands such as Whitecross, Bride, Legend Seven and Bloodgood. Growing up Kevin has always had a passion for music and continued to run after the purpose and plan of God for his life and ministry. In 1992 God called Kevin into the ministry of leading worship in his church. This was a new journey for him, but God used it to teach and train Kevin in the area of true worship and being led of the Holy Spirit. Kevin is a psalmist who has a heart to reach those with his music that are uncomfortable coming into the local church. Kevin loves to hear the song of the Lord that brings freedom, healing, salvation to the lost and to the body of Christ. Kevin is a man after God's heart. He longs to see God's people worship Him, freely and with no restraint. It excites him to see the people of God free to lose themselves in His Presence. Kevin's music appeals to all audiences. Kevin commits his ministry and his music to the Lord recognizing that it's not about Him, but about turning our hearts and face toward heaven. May we all see our need for God and be drawn to Him in a personal and intimate relationship. Kevin is married to his wife Tracy of 12 years and has two children Abby and Michael.Kevin continues to lead worship at his home church in Evansville, Indiana. Kevin's desire to go out of the four walls of the church is becoming a reality. His music speaks to all ages and all denominations. But one thing Kevin is clear on- it's not about him, but it's about the One who called him.
