Christopher Dwayne Tomlin, who is popularly known as Chris Tomlin is an American Grammy Award-winning Christian singer, songwriter and worship leader. Born on 4th May, 1972, in Grand Saline, Texas, he grew and became prominent through the Passion movement after studying Psychology at Texas A&M University and has written or co-written some of contemporary Christian music’s most widely sung worship songs, including:
- “How Great is Our God,”
- “Our God,”
- “Holy is the Lord,”
- “Whom Shall I Fear (God of Angel Armies)” and
- “Holy Forever.” amongst others.
Born on May 4, 1972, in Grand Saline, Texas, he emerged from the Texas college-ministry scene in the 1990s and became one of the principal musical figures associated with the Passion movement founded by Louie Giglio.
His songwriting catalogue includes some of the most recognizable modern worship songs, including “How Great Is Our God,” “Our God,” “Holy Is the Lord,” “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone),” “Jesus Messiah,” “Whom Shall I Fear (God of Angel Armies),” “Good Good Father” and “Holy Forever.”
Chris Tomlin’s influence extends beyond record sales. His songs have become fixtures in contemporary Christian worship and have been incorporated into congregational worship across denominations and countries, making him one of the most consequential songwriters in modern Christian worship.
His career has also expanded beyond music. He has authored books, led major worship gatherings, participated in the Passion movement, and with his wife Lauren founded For Others, an organization working to address America’s child-welfare crisis.
Chris Tomlin grew up in a small-town Texas family and developed an interest in music early in life. His father gave him his first guitar, and Tomlin has described learning to play by listening to country music, including records by Willie Nelson.
Early Life and Family Background
Tomlin grew up in Grand Saline, Texas, with his parents, Connie and Donna Tomlin, and two younger brothers, Ryan and Cory.
Music was present in his home from an early age. His father gave him his first guitar, and Tomlin learned by playing along with records.
Although he eventually became known primarily for contemporary Christian worship, country music was an important early musical influence.
Tomlin has also spoken about his Christian faith beginning at a young age. AllMusic reports that he accepted Jesus Christ as his Saviour at the age of nine and wrote his first song of praise when he was 14.
His teenage years therefore combined two developments that would define his later career: a growing Christian faith and an increasing interest in songwriting.
Chris Tomlin’s First Worship Song
Tomlin wrote his first worship song at approximately 14 years old.
During high school, he also began learning how to lead worship in his youth group.
That early experience became important because Tomlin’s eventual career was not built primarily around performing secular music before converting to Christian music. Worship leadership was already becoming part of his identity while he was a teenager.
His later songs would retain this emphasis on congregational participation rather than simply showcasing the performer.

Education
Tyler Junior College
After graduating from Grand Saline High School in 1990, Tomlin attended Tyler Junior College.
His original career ambitions were not focused on becoming a professional musician. He was interested in medicine and related fields, including physical therapy and sports medicine.
He later transferred to Texas A&M University.
Texas A&M University
Tomlin attended Texas A&M University, where he studied psychology.
A 2024 Texas A&M Foundation profile confirms that Tomlin transferred from Tyler Junior College to Texas A&M and initially considered pursuing medicine, sports medicine or physical therapy. (TxAM Foundation)
While at Texas A&M, however, his involvement in Christian ministry increasingly shaped the direction of his life.
He became involved with Breakaway, a Christian student ministry that was then in its early stages.
The experience became one of the decisive turning points of his career.
Tomlin ultimately completed his degree in psychology. Texas A&M’s own account describes his decision during his senior year to finish his degree while abandoning the conventional career path he had originally envisioned in favour of seeing where his music and ministry calling would lead.
Chris Tomlin Education at a Glance
Institution Field/Direction Period
Grand Saline High School Secondary education Graduated 1990
Tyler Junior College Pre-medical/related interests Early college
Texas A&M University Psychology Graduated 1990s
Texas A&M identifies Tomlin as a 1995 alumnus, although some secondary biographies give different graduation-year details. The university’s own 2024 profile is the preferred source for the alumni designation. (TxAM Foundation)
⸻
Chris Tomlin and Breakaway
One of the most important chapters in Tomlin’s development took place at Texas A&M through Breakaway, the student Christian ministry founded by Gregg Matte.
Tomlin was attracted to Breakaway because he was looking for a Christian community with a strong ministry focus.
What began as a small gathering in an elementary-school library eventually became one of the major student ministries in Texas. (TxAM Foundation)
Tomlin became involved as a worship leader.
The experience gave him an environment in which his songwriting and worship-leading abilities could develop while he was still a university student.
He later described his years at Texas A&M and Breakaway as among the most important experiences in determining what he believed he was called to do.
⸻
Chris Tomlin and Louie Giglio
Tomlin’s connection with Louie Giglio was another defining moment.
At the time, Giglio was leading a Christian ministry at Baylor University known as Choice. Tomlin travelled from Texas A&M to Baylor to participate in Christian gatherings and eventually met Giglio at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes event.
The two subsequently worked together at youth camps.
Giglio recognized Tomlin’s songwriting and worship-leading gifts, and their relationship developed into a long-term ministry partnership.
That partnership eventually became one of the foundations of the Passion movement.
⸻
Chris Tomlin and Passion
Chris Tomlin became one of the defining worship leaders associated with Passion, the Christian movement founded by Louie Giglio.
Passion was initially focused on reaching university students through large Christian gatherings. Music became an important part of the movement, and Tomlin’s songs became central to its worship expression.
Tomlin’s involvement with Passion would eventually introduce his songwriting to a much wider audience.
His relationship with Giglio also led to his association with Sixsteps Records, the label established in connection with the Passion movement.
He became one of the label’s early major artists.
Chris Tomlin’s Ministry Career
Although Tomlin eventually became a successful recording artist, his career has remained closely connected to local church ministry and congregational worship.
He has served in pastoral and worship-leadership roles, including work with churches in Texas and later involvement with Passion City Church in Atlanta.
His ministry identity has therefore developed alongside his music career rather than separately from it.
This distinction is important when understanding Tomlin: his songs were written primarily to be sung by churches and Christian communities, not simply to function as commercial recordings.

The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making it only the fourth contemporary Christian music album at the time to reach the top of the overall Billboard 200 chart. (Wikipedia)

His recording became a major Christian radio success and was included on Never Lose Sight, released in 2016. (Wikipedia)
The song subsequently inspired a children’s book co-written by Tomlin and Pat Barrett.

Never Lose Sight

Chris Tomlin as an Author
Music is not Tomlin’s only creative outlet.

Chris Tomlin’s Wife

The couple have also worked together in philanthropy.
⸻
Chris Tomlin’s Children
Chris and Lauren Tomlin have three daughters.
They are publicly identified as Ashlyn, Madison and Elle in an interview published through Tomlin’s official website. (Chris Tomlin)
Tomlin has spoken publicly about fatherhood and how different raising daughters was from the sports-oriented childhood he experienced with his brothers.
Because his daughters are private individuals, this biography deliberately does not include unnecessary personal information about them.
⸻
Chris Tomlin and For Others
One of the most important parts of Tomlin’s work outside music is his involvement with For Others, a nonprofit focused on America’s child-welfare crisis.
The organization began as Angel Armies, founded by Chris and Lauren Tomlin in early 2019. It later became For Others. (For Others)
For Others works to raise awareness and support organizations addressing the needs of children and families affected by the child-welfare system.
The organization’s official history says Tomlin felt led to use his public platform to draw attention to vulnerable children in America.
Chris Tomlin serves as Founder, while Lauren Tomlin is listed on the organization’s board.
⸻
Good Friday Nashville
Tomlin’s philanthropic work has also been connected with Good Friday Nashville, an annual worship gathering.
The event brings together Christians from different streams of the church to worship and remember the significance of Good Friday.
The event has also supported For Others and efforts addressing foster care and adoption.
This illustrates another recurring theme in Tomlin’s career: using music as a vehicle for worship while connecting large gatherings to practical service.

Major Commercial Achievement
One of Tomlin’s most notable mainstream achievements was Burning Lights debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2013.
Chris Tomlin’s influence in Christian Worship cannot be measured only by album sales or awards.
His most significant contribution has been his songwriting.
Songs such as “How Great Is Our God,” “Our God,” “Holy Is the Lord,” “Jesus Messiah,” “Whom Shall I Fear” and “Holy Forever” have become congregational songs rather than merely artist recordings.
This distinction explains why Tomlin is frequently described as one of the most influential contemporary Christian worship songwriters.
His songs are designed to be sung collectively.
That approach has helped him remain relevant across multiple generations of Christian music listeners.
Chris Tomlin’s Music Style
Tomlin’s music is generally classified within:
* Contemporary Christian music
* Contemporary worship
* Christian pop
* Gospel-influenced worship
* Country/Christian crossover

Chris Tomlin’s Legacy
Chris Tomlin’s career represents one of the clearest examples of how contemporary Christian worship developed from college ministry and local church settings into a global music movement.
His journey began in a small Texas town, continued through Texas A&M and Breakaway, and developed through his relationship with Louie Giglio and Passion.
From there, songs written for worship gatherings became recordings, and those recordings became songs sung by congregations across the world.
His achievements include a Grammy Award, numerous Dove Awards, major Billboard chart success and a catalogue of worship songs that have outlived individual albums.
Yet his career has also increasingly included philanthropy, books, large-scale worship events and family-focused charitable work through For Others.
In 2025 and 2026, Tomlin remained active, releasing The King Is Still The King, its expanded edition and new music while continuing a major touring schedule. (Chris Tomlin)

Editorial Notes
1. Major factual points
The relationship is not presented as an unexplained “discovery.” Contemporary/interview material shows that Tomlin met Giglio while Tomlin was at Texas A&M and Giglio was working with Christian students at Baylor. Their relationship developed through youth camps and ministry events before becoming part of the Passion story.
His philanthropy is substantially expanded
Older biographies tend to focus almost exclusively on music.
This version includes For Others, which is now a significant part of Tomlin’s public work. The organization’s own website confirms that Tomlin and Lauren founded Angel Armies in 2019 and that it later became For Others.
Current public sources consistently support:
* Wife: Lauren Tomlin
* Marriage: November 9, 2010
* Children: three daughters
Tomlin’s official-site interview identifies the daughters as Ashlyn, Madison and Elle. L
5. Books
There is strong evidence for Tomlin’s authorship/co-authorship.
The most important verified works include:
* The Way I Was Made
* Holy Roar
* Good Good Father
* Good Good Father for Little Ones
The Way I Was Made is particularly useful for an author section because Penguin Random House independently confirms Tomlin as the author. (Penguin Random House)
⸻
6. Awards
The safest current award statement is:
Chris Tomlin has won one Grammy Award and received 15 Grammy nominations.
That comes directly from the Recording Academy.
For Dove Awards, numerous historical records document his wins. Because the total varies depending on whether collaborative awards are attributed to individual artists, the article deliberately avoids relying on a single unsourced lifetime number.
