Music Ministry Director

Music has been a part of Tim Kilgore's life since he was four.  When he was six, he used to go up to the auditorium of his father's Church to play the piano.  He began formal lessons at the age of seven and continued them into college.  He also has been singing in Church since the age of five.

Tim received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at the age of four and rededicated his life to the Lord in a hotel room in Paris, France at the age of 15.  He was filled with the Spirit two weeks later, and began operating in the gifts of the Spirit since age 15.

He began leading worship and assisting the worship leader of a Church in Ada, Oklahoma in 1995.  And has since developed a passion to see the presence and power of God on display in every single service in which he is a part.     

Tim has taken over leadership of the Praise and Worship team of Spirit One Christian Center, and feels that it is a great honor to serve the Lord with his gifts.  He has written numerous Praise and Worship choruses and is a firm believer that worship is a spontaneous outward expression of an inward, heart-felt relationship with the Lord.  Thus, most of his music comes through a spontaneous outflow of worship.

He is happily married to his wife of nearly seven years, Sarah, and has a beautiful daughter named Catherine-Elizabeth Joy.
