Michael Boggs

Michael Boggs is an accomplished multi-format musician, singer, and songwriter. He鈥檚 toured the world,聽become a sought-after songwriter, and leads worship for thousands.

Growing up, he was convinced he鈥檇 be a professional athlete. By the time college came along, he had a聽spot waiting for him to play football for a big-name university. He never took music lessons, never sent demo tapes to record labels, but when God came聽calling with His plan for Boggs, Michael took that most important step: he listened and obeyed. Boggs聽felt a call to attend a tiny Bible college in Oklahoma that didn鈥檛 even have a football team, and so he聽went.

So how did he end up an award-winning聽musician? Read Michael’s whole story聽聽and then join us on March 1 for a special gathering and time of worship.
