Chris Orr Band

About Me

also check out their pure volumeFor almost a decade, Chris and the band have been leading worship across the United States. As a college student, Chris heard God's calling of ministry on his life. Unsure of how the calling would resolve, Chris found music as a means to an end to speak the message of the Christ. Since then God has opened doors both locally and nationally for Chris and the band to share the gospel by leading worship from the platforms of organizations such as Student Life, Student Life for Kids, The North American Mission Board, Campus Crusade for Christ, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Baptist State Conventions in Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, Ohio, Virginia, Tennessee & New York.Although Chris enjoys opportunities to minister in these capacities, the local church still remains Chris's greatest passion. When not on the road, Chris leads worship at Cross Pointe Church Northeast Atlanta where he serves part-time.Chris calls Cornelia, Georgia home where he lives with his wife, Marla, and daughter, Abigail.
