Christopher Voigt has been Pastor of Celebration Ministries at Dayspring Fellowship in Keizer, Oregon for 15 years and a lead worshipper for more than 25. He also contributes his time and seemingly boundless energy and talent to leading the Board of Directors of Worship Northwest, a growing ministry focused on building, equipping and encouraging lead worshippers in the local church.

Chris says, “As a worship leader for more than 25 years, I have seen my share of healthy and unhealthy ministries. Through it all God has developed a desire in me to help other worship leaders build healthy, fully-functioning ministries; to help all believers love God with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength; to help churches become worshiping churches.”

Chris is an innovator and organizer, passionate and purposeful - a servant leader with a shepherd’s heart. His fervent desire is to equip and challenge believers toward a lifestyle of worship. Both engaging and energetic, he is equally effective in a workshop setting or as a keynote speaker. From seminars on ministry essentials for leaders and their teams, to vision-casting on what living a life of everyday worship really looks like for a Christ-follower, Chris will encourage your leadership, volunteers and congregation. Chris speaks with deep conviction from a solidly biblical perspective on topics such as leadership development, healthy ministry relationships, team chemistry and dynamics, creativity in worship, living a worship-oriented lifestyle, and more. A complete listing of seminars and speaking topics is available on his website.

In 2012 Chris wrote and published his first book, Everyday Worship. Soon after, he launched Chris Voigt Worship, a non-profit ministry dedicated to equipping and encouraging worship leaders around the world. CVW is committed to providing the biblical teaching and practical tools needed for developing healthy, sustainable ministries.

Chris also serves on the Boards of Friends of Hope, and Extra Mile Media and has served as Chairman of the Board of DELTA Ministries International. In his spare time he does business consulting through his company Outsource Oregon. He plays keyboards and guitar (though he doesn’t claim guitar very often), acknowledges an addiction to Diet Coke, and is husband to DeeDee and dad to two incredible young adult kids, Lexi and Josh.
