One of the leading artists and activists within contemporary Christian music,
Chris Tomlin is a successful singer and songwriter whose 2005 album Arriving has
sold over a million copies, and whose compositions Holy Is the Lord, How Great
Is Our God, and Our God are among the most popular contemporary songs in the
worlds churches, being sung by millions of Christians at worship services every
week. Born in Grand Saline, Texas in 1972, Tomlin grew up listening to country
music and learned to play guitar from his father (Tomlin has cited Willie
Nelsons Stardust as a key influence). At the age of nine, Tomlin accepted Jesus
Christ as his savior, and at 14 wrote his first song of praise.

He enrolled at Texas A&M in the early 90s to study medicine, but as he heard the
call to bring himself and others closer to God, he grew active in a campus
Christian group called Breakaway. Tomlin was a worship leader with Breakaway
when he began attending Bible study sessions with Louie Giglio, who led a
Christian group at Baylor University in Waco called Choice. Tomlin and Giglio
worked together at youth ministry camps, and Tomlin was soon performing praise
songs regularly for Giglios events. In time, Giglios group evolved into Passion,
a nationwide organization for young Christians on college campuses, and Giglio
started a record company, Six Steps Records, to record youth-oriented Christian
artists. Tomlin, whose songs had become mainstays at Breakaway and Passion
services, became one of Six Steps first signings, and The Noise We Make,
released in 2001, was Tomlins first album. The band Tomlin assembled while
serving as a pastor at Woodland, Texass Harvest Ministry -- Daniel Carson on
guitar, Jesse Reeves on bass, and Ryan Sandlin on drums -- began touring, often
appearing at Passion events around the country as well as headlining its own
concerts. (In 2004, Ryan Sandlin left the group, and Travis Nunn took over
behind the drums.) In 2002, Tomlin moved to Austin, Texas, and became a pastor
at Austins Stone Community Church, where he helped guide a congregation of
1,500. As Tomlins songs and recordings found a wider audience, he was nominated
for two Grammy Awards for his 2006 album See the Morning (which rose to number
one on Billboards Christian albums chart and number 15 on the overall Top 200),
but the songwriter continued to emphasize that his mission was more important
than his own music. Tomlins fifth studio album, 2008s Hello Love, was certified
gold. It was followed in 2009 by the holiday offering Glory in the Highest:
Christmas Songs of Worship, 2010s And If Our God Is for Us..., and 2103s Burning
Lights. Tomlins tenth studio album, Love Ran Red, featuring the hit singles
Waterfall and Jesus Loves Me, was released in 2014, and in 2015 he appeared on
the Passion release Even So Come. Also in 2015, Tomlin launched Worship Night in
America. Held at some of the nations best-known venues, including New York Citys
Madison Square Garden and Denvers Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the touring
presentation of music and prayer was broadcast in hundreds of movie theaters
nationwide.

His mainstream success continued in 2016 with a Grammy nomination (his eighth
overall) and the release of a new studio album, Never Lose Sight, which reached
number six on the Billboard 200. Following a 2017 holiday album, Adore:
Christmas Songs of Worship, Tomlin issued the single Resurrection Power in
January 2018. Still touring annually with Worship Night in America, his 2018
edition welcomed guests including Kim Walker-Smith, Matt Maher, and Tauren
Wells.
