Worship Leader
Kellie & Kristen
Kellie and Kristen are twin sisters and worship leaders currently based out of Nashville, TN. Music has been a constant for the girls throughout their lives, Kellie singing from the time she was just three years old and Kristen picking up her first instrument at age eight. While the pair has ministered through music in some capacity over the last twelve years, they each felt God whisper the call into worship ministry as teenagers. Together, they travel both locally and across the southern region of the United States in capacities such as nights of worship, women’s conferences, youth camps and events, children’s camps, and concerts. After releasing two original EPs, Kellie and Kristen continue to write worship music that aims to refocus and remind believers of the work of Jesus and the great love He has for his people. On their journey of leading and ministering, they have found that what best unites believers is when they sing songs together that celebrate the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are excited that the Lord has led their journey to intersect with FUGE camps, and they can’t wait to hear the sound of many voices becoming one united to lift the name of Jesus high in song this summer!
