Christian Ballenger is a pastor and worship leader. A native of Detroit, Michigan, Christian grew up in adverse circumstances. Without a father and with the pressures of the inner city, his faith allowed him to persevere. He gave his heart to the Lord at age 10, after attending a youth choir rehearsal in a small church on the west side. He there cultivated a love for music and the church. In 2007, Christian came to Chicago, where he earned a BA in Mass Communication from Saint Xavier University. It was then he felt God call him to full-time ministry.
Christian’s heart is for everyone to have a personal encounter with God. Through writing, speaking, and music he desires to convey the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. In addition to his songwriting and worship leading, he is the author of “All Man All Amazing,” which offers Jesus as the consummate role model. Today, he resides in Pittsburgh, PA with his lovely wife Heidi and two beautiful children: Marshall and Courtney.
