Michael Christian/True Worship Ministries

" Let Us Enter Into The Holy Of Holies Together "

Born in NYC to a musical/show business family background, Michael began a professional music career at the age of 17.  On from there, he worked as a professional Songwriter, Guitarist, and Recording Artist with major record labels and as a Producer and Arranger with a fair amount of success in secular music.  From the 60’s through the early 80’s, he worked in radio commercials, publishing and TV.  In 1985, Michael came to the end of himself.  His life had led him to despair and suicidal discouragement.   He had a dramatic conversion experience and gave his life to Jesus in 1985.  Michael’s life transformed as he received the Holy Spirit.  Michael’s conviction of his calling is rooted deep in the word and prayer.  He has been serving Jesus with all of his heart ever since and is determined to finish the race.
