Michael O’Brien is now celebrating 28 years in full time ministry. In the early 90’s he signed a record deal with Benson Records and garnered 8 number one singles on the radio. Some of those songs (If Ever I Forget and Nothins gonna turn me around) were during his solo career but several (When God Made You, Rescue, and Psalm 40) were with the group “Newsong” during his 7 year tenure as their lead singer starting in 1999.
Today Michael enjoys every opportunity to lead worship and perform concerts in churches and conferences all over the United States. He is a regular worship leader at “The Cove” for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and well as leading at Answers In Genesis Women’s and Pastors conferences. He also works with the American Association of Christian Counseling, FCA and Fresh Grounded Faith Conferences.
He has been married to his wife Heidi for 33 years and has 4 children and 2 grandchildren and one on the way. “I’m thankful to the lord for every opportunity to lead God’s people in worship to the Lord. It is one of my greatest privileges and honors.”
