KARI JOBE
Young girls dream about becoming lawyers, fashion designers, nurses, or mothers. Kari Jobe knew at 10 that she would be a worship leader. Raised in a Christian home with a father who was a traveling minister, Kari began singing in church when she was 3. She remembers her mother playing worship music in the house while growing up and even recalls the constant tug inside her toward worship. "I remember hearing a worship song that applied perfectly to a family that I knew, and I knew that I wanted to write songs like that, for hurting people; songs that someone could speak to the Lord when they can't find the words."
Through high school and college, Kari watched God set the path before her as she began leading worship in various places. She spent time studying at Oral Roberts University, Christ For The Nations, and Dallas Baptist University, where she finished her psychology and Pastoral Ministries degree. Her home church for 6 years thus far, Gateway Church in Southlake Texas, hired her as a worship pastor after graduation, an opportunity that caught her off guard. "I thought, 'Are you sure? Me, be a pastor?'" But once again God was right on. I saw how God networked my life through ORU, Christ For The Nations, and Dallas Baptist, giving me the tools to not only be a worship leader, but a pastor."
A featured worship leader on Gateway Worship projects, "Living for You" and "Wake Up the World," Kari released her self-titled debut through Gateway Create Publishing and Integrity Music on February 10, 2009. Produced by Ed Cash, the album contains a collection of worship pop/folk songs written by Kari, as well as co-writes with worship leaders/songwriters Chris Tomlin, Paul Baloche, Mia Fieldes, Ed Cash, and Klaus Kuehn.
Whether leading worship at Gateway Church, or in other settings around the country, for Kari, the work of ministry always comes back to the people. "I am moved by people's lives and stories, and I am amazed by Who God is and Who He says we are. Music becomes a way to minister to people in times of trouble, to lead them to the feet of Jesus, Who can bring peace, life, hope, and healing."
