Who's-a-whatsit?
Identity: Who is Kim?
Kim is a regular guy, who has been captivated by the unbelievable love of God. His passion to see the reality of God's presence and Kingdom demonstrated in real lives is what fuels most of what he does. The foundation of his identity is based on his belief that he is loved through and through by the Living Creator of the Universe (His name is Jesus). Kim believes his value comes from being a child of God, not from what he can do, or what he has accomplished. In the journey, Kim has been amazingly blessed to be with his sweetheart of 20 years of marriage, Carol, and to have the wonderful opportunity to grow up with his 3 sons - Jordan, Jared and Cody.
Connections: Where is he involved?
Kim is a local church guy, who has served as a worship leader at East Valley Vineyard, San Tan Vineyard and Gilbert Vineyard in Arizona which are churches in the south east valley of the Phoenix metro area. Kim and family have recently moved to the Nashville/Franklin area, and are connecting with the local church there, and have been attending the Franklin Vineyard where we have begun to serve. We are very committed to training and encouraging the Body of Christ, and out of that passion, Kim started WorshipMusic.com, now one of the premier destinations for worship resources. In 2001, Kim pioneered an integrated worship, arts, community gathering that has become known as "the Worship Gathering". In 2008, Kim launched WorshipTeam.com, a new online workspace for churches. During the day, Kim serves as the Chief Technology Officer for the Don Moen Company, where he manages the expansion of Worshipteam.com and oversees technology and worship resource development across the entire Don Moen Company. He also continues to give direction to the Worship Gathering and associated events.
Message & Music: What up?
Our message is always this- Jesus. There are, however, many ways to express that message- music, art, literature, speech, relationships and life.
Kim is involved in songwriting and worship leading both in his local church and beyond. He has led worship in various events in southwest and other parts of the US, and has spoken in conferences and seminars throughout the US and Canada. We love to use the songs the church are using, incorporating many of today's anthems that local churches love to worship God with. We also use a selection of original songs that God has given us as our flavoring to be added to the Body of Christ. Kim has spoken on some focused topics dealing with music, worship, ministry and passionate living in Christ. He has done seminars and workshops on such topics as worship, worship leading, expanding into arts in worship, technology in worship, working in the music industry, and pursuing God through transforming times. Kim would not describe himself primarily as a "recording artist", though he has recorded music independently and with major worship labels. Kim is primarily a worship leader and equiper to the Body of Christ.
