Kim's Cool Links Page


Hey, come on. Every website since the beginning of time has its list of good things to check out.  But mine is not a reciprocating "back-patting" scheme.  These are links to places I know, people I know and have contact with.  No scammy link trades and google ads here.  Just some places I have worked, music and worship stuff I have connected with and some friends.

  • Churches

    Links to churches that I have connected with over the years
    • SanTan Vineyard (new church launch)
      This is the new church launch that we are involved in. Currently we are in a small gatherings and meeting once a month in celebration. If you are in the area, come check us out.
    • Vineyard Community Church, Gilbert, AZ
      My home church from 2003 to 2007.
    • East Valley Vineyard
      A church Carol and I helped plant with Mark & Bonnie Morgan, who were pastors. We started in 1989 and got going with Sunday meetings by 1990. It grew to around 150-200 people, and eventually merged in Gilbert Vineyard in 2003.
    • Amadeo Church, Higley AZ
      Another cool church in Arizona. I have worshipped with them too. Great bunch of folks!
    • Wonderful Mercy Church, Gilbert AZ
      A cool church that I have been friends with. Worshipped with them several times.
    • Faith Community Church, Thousand Palms, CA
      A wonderful church. I have worshipped with them a couple times. Great folks! My good friend Carl Tuttle is the worship pastor there.
    • St. Croix Vineyard, New Brunswick, Canada
      One of the coolest churches you will ever visit. Amazing spirit of community and love. My good friend Dan Wilt is worship leader there. One of my all time favorite speakers, Peter Fitch, is the pastor. Great times of ministry.

  • Worship Stuff

    Sites and content that are pertinant to worship and music in the local church.
    • WorshipMusic.com
      Ya, its here again. It's really the main place to find anything possible regarding resources for worship.
    • the Worship Gathering
      A ministry we are involved in that holds events of worship, including nights of worship and conferences.
    • The Institute Of Contemporary & Emerging Worship Studies (ICEWS)
      An amazing training / growth program for worship leaders and creatives. Run by my friend, Dan Wilt. I have been to a lot of stuff on worship, but nothing this life changing and essential to true Christian discipleship and spirituality. Check it out!
    • ION Worship
      One of the coolest new organizations doing worship. Amazing people with great hearts.
    • Worship Resource Center
      An early place I helped develop that connects and resources people regarding worship. All free stuff.
    • inside worship online
      A cool repository of articles and knowledge from teachers and well known leaders on worship.

  • Music & Worship Training

    Sites and resources that help develop skills, giftings and freedom in praise, worship and music
    • the guitar praise blog
      Kenny Gohweizhi's amazing guitar praise resource. Truly one of the best musical learning sites on the web.
    • The Guitarpraise Channel @ YouTube.com
      This is simply perfect for electric guitarists (bassists too). Pretty much every song you can imagine wanting to learn the lead guitar part to is online as a demo. Wow!

  • Friends

    A set of links to people/minsitries I personally know. I recommend these sites because I actually know the people behind them.
    • Brian Doerksen
      Brian is one of those folks who is unique in the Body of Christ. He follows God even when the crowd seems to be going another direction. I love that about him. He also never stops coming back to the Father's love. A truth we need to have echoed back to us
    • Paul Baloche
      I have known Paul for a little while now. One of the coolest guys involved in leading worship- a true equipper who actually cares about helping worshippers and people in local churches.
    • David Ruis
      One of the most creative people you will ever meet. But has his heart firmly grounded on radical devotion to Christ with a desire to see justice and compassion explode out from the church into the broken and lost who need to know Jesus.
    • Rita Springer
      A fireball! What can I say, Rita is the warmest, most gentle, unassuming people you will ever meet... until she sits down behind some keyboards to worship God. Then.. all bets are off, and you better head for cover or hit the floor in worship.
    • Arlen Salte
      One of the unknown folks who has a global ministry of helping see the Body of Christ renewed through the Spirit, by equipping them in worship. Arlen is an amazing Canadian who is a good friend. Hosts the biggest worship conference in North America.
    • Carl Tuttle
      My friend Carl. One of the true friends who is there for the long haul. This guy is one of the pioneers of worship back in the early 80's. Still one of my favorite friends to call when I need some wisdom.
    • Matt Frise
      The master of all things visual and spacial. Looking for a worship space architect? Matt is your man.
    • Dan Wilt
      What can I say about Dan? The amazing cameleonic flourisher of all things worship & creative. And I mean that in a totally positive way! Suffice to say that Dan has learned how to be a long termer in creative gifitngs! He helps a lot of us stay sane!

  • Work Links

    These are links to organizations that I currently work with or have worked with in the past.
    • Worshipteam.com (2003-present)
      The new thing we are working on. Pretty fun, and super cool for worship leaders and teams.
    • WorshipMusic.com (1998-present)
      My favorite place to work so far! My brother and I started this company in 1998. It's been an adventure and a challenge.
    • Intel (1999-2003)
      One of my favorite places to work. I found Intel to have a great environment for most people. If you happen to work in a group at Intel that adhered to the Intel corporate values, it was a pretty encouraging workplace. I learned a lot working here.
    • Computer Guidance Corporation (1998)
      About the worse place to work I can imagine, but God taught me a lot about serving under unjust people here.
    • Helix Technologies (1998)
      Worked on Helix development in 1998. It was fun work but it was short lived. I worked for this group when it was owned by Chip Merchant. I did a poor job working here and they (rightly) let me go. A few months later they called and asked me to come back.
    • Motorola (1996)
      Worked for a short while at this company, on DOD government project software.
    • Honeywell (1988-1998)
      My first official job out of college was with Honeywell. I did geeky stuff like programming graphics card software and other device drivers.

  • Cool Stuff

    Just some uber cool stuff that everyone should try out at least once in your internet experience. If you haven't checked these things out before, they are worth waisting and afternoon cruising around.
    • The Wayback Machine
      Neatest thing since sliced-- Internet. Here is the deal. This web site has an archive of all the websites in the world (you yawn, big deal). But get this- it has snap shots of the entire WWW since 1996. You can look back in time at any website.
    • Kim's Old Personal Website in 1996 (Yikes!)
      Just to demonstrate how cool the Wayback Machine is, you can see my lame-a-toid website back in 1996 in all its hideous HTML uglified glory. Makes me cry and laugh at the same time :).
    • A Look at Burnout in Church Leaders - a personal story and teaching by Carl Tuttle
      This is one of the most helpful talks ever given for people who are involved in Christian ministry in regards to burnout. A humbling story of a man who went through burnout and walked through powerful truths of finding identity and love in Christ.
    • Google Translate
      The best online translator on the web. Applying web 2.0 technologies to an ancient problem of natural language translation.
    • Kim Gentes in Spanish! (Kim Gentes en español!)
      Here is a spanish version of KimGentes.com via Google Translate! ( Aquí hay una versión en español de KimGentes.com a través de Google Translate!)
