Christopher Dwayne Tomlin (born 1972, Grand Saline, Texas) grew up in a Christian household in small-town Texas, felt called to ministry as a teenager, and has spent his entire adult life as a worship leader and recording artist. His connection to Passion Conferences (Louie Giglio) from the late 1990s onward placed him at the center of a generation-defining Christian worship movement.
His faith is not incidental to his career — it is his career. He has consistently spoken about worship as a calling rather than an industry, has been involved in the local church throughout his career (most prominently at Austin Stone Community Church), and has spoken extensively about his personal faith, prayer life, and Scripture.
Chris Tomlin is one of the most performed worship artists in history. Songs including "How Great Is Our God," "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)," "Holy Is the Lord," "Good Good Father," "Our God," and "Jesus Loves Me" are sung in churches across every denomination globally. ASCAP reported that "How Great Is Our God" alone was performed in approximately 10,000 churches per week at its peak — making him likely the most sung artist in contemporary Christianity.
