Originally from Texas and now residing in Nashville international worship leader and CCM songwriter Kari Jobe ministered around the world for nearly two decades with various worship groups before settling down as the worship pastor at Southlake, Texas’ Gateway Church in 2006. Jobe released her debut, Kari Jobe, in February 2009.

For more than 15 years, well-respected worship leader Kari Jobe has been using her gifts to lead people into the presence of God. When she began leading worship at age 13, she never imagined she would be nominated for a GRAMMY®, win a Dove Award or be praised by the New York Times. She only knew she had a heart for broken people and a deep desire to lead them to the cross.

She may now lead worship for thousands around the world thanks to an expanding platform. But for Jobe, the songs birthed for Majestic (2014) have nothing to do with her. “It’s not about me,” she emphasizes. “If it became about me, that would be dangerous and wrong. It’s about Him. It’s a great honor and a great responsibility, but it’s not any different than me just living my life every day needing Him in my circumstances.”

Jobe tours the country with her husband Cody Carnes and their two boys, Canyon and Kingston, and they both serve at their home church The Belonging Co.
