Prominent leadership author John Maxwell defines leadership as the ability to lead, motivate and influence others— it is the ability to get people moving in the right direction. After 25 years in the gospel music industry, renowned producer Kevin Bond has established himself as the very embodiment of Maxwell’s definition of a great leader.
A native of the musically-rich Chicago, Illinois, his unique gifting to lead and direct has taken him all over the world as a music director, keyboardist, songwriter, producer, and workshop clinician. To his credit his works have garnered an astounding 10 Grammy awards, 30 Stellar awards, and numerous other awards. A proven leader and keen visionary, his wealth of knowledge has both spoken life and given direction to an entire generation of minstrels and Levites!
Most recently Kevin served as Director of Worship and Arts at the New Birth Church in Atlanta, Georgia. In four years at the helm, he transformed the music department into a nationally recognized standard of excellence! His 2004 production of the 300-voice New Birth Total Praise Choir, entitled “Spirit and Truth,” garnered national acclaim, as it received multiple Grammy and Stellar nominations. In February 2006, the choir will release its sophomore CD, which is again produced and written by Bond.
Today, in addition to his production and speaking engagements, Kevin is working as a Worship and Arts Leadership Training Consultant for music departments across the country. So whether your church is in need of organizational structure or is just seeking to be more effective in its operation, rest assured that Kevin is able to help you attain your ministry goals!
