CHRISTOPHER WRIGHT
BIO
Christopher's joy and calling is to strengthen, encourage and comfort the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 14:3) and to help people of all generations come to see the greatness of God.
Born and raised in the Philly suburbs, Christopher and his college sweetheart, Jeannie, currently reside in Exton, PA with their three adult children. In 1988 they were blessed with a special needs daughter who was unable to walk, talk, or eat--except through a tube. Amanda's brief 15 years on this earth taught Christopher much about God's love, sovereignty, and what matters most. Her profound impact on his life caused him to worship Christ like he never had before, and inspired him to write songs that flowed from a grateful, broken heart.
In order to comfort others with the comfort he and his family received (2 Cor. 1: 3-4), Christopher answered the call to full-time music ministry in 1995 and founded Blessed Hurricane Ministries, a concert and worship ministry which has taken him to churches, camps and conferences all around the world. As a musical missionary with The WordFM, Christopher has led worship for various functions of the radio station including local and global missions trips.
Whether leading 80,000 in worship at Creation Festival ('04 & '05) or with a handful of missionaries and families in a remote fishing village of Brazil, his contagious passion for making much of Christ remains the same. Having also served over ten years as a pastor of worship, he enjoys coaching worship leaders and their teams, as well as helping churches in transition.
In November of 2018, Christopher has most recently accepted a part time worship director position at Grace Covenant Church in his family's hometown of Exton, PA. Most Sundays you can find him there. His music can be found on local Christian radio and on major label recordings by Integrity Music, Maranatha! Music, and Sovereign Grace Music (as well as on his own indie projects).
