About this user

Since 1991, Christopher Ames has been cutting through the issues that can divide and distract us. Whether we come as a prodigal, a seeker, or with the faith of a child the music of Christopher Ames will call us to consider the love of God through Jesus Christ.

Chris uses his music to get to the heart of our faith and to tell the story of his journey thus far. He's a simple guy. An earthly guy. A loving husband. A dad... But when he's performing the music that comes from the depths of his soul...you feel like he's your best friend too! He's a contemporary Christian combination of John Denver and Kenny Loggins!

In his songwriting, Christopher tries to blend the raw sounds of an acoustic guitar with honest lyrics born of a life filled with both thorns and grace. Every life holds places of brokenness and mine is no different. But in the grace of Jesus, we are loved... and our wounds are being tended." Much of these expressions are heard in his CD titled BELIEVING BEYOND THE SHADOWS. With music, Chris shows there is a light stronger than any darkness and even when we can't see the light we know we have to hold on and believe.

In 2005, Christopher released BILBO AND THE BOYS to radio. Timing was perfect since the song hit just in time for Father's Day. The song was added to rotation on AC Christian Radio, Country Christian Radio, and Internet Radio. One program director called it "THE Father's Day song for 2005". In August his second radio single, THE REMNANT was released to AC Christian Radio, Inspirational Radio, Catholic Radio and Internet radio. The response was great and continued interest in Christopher Ames continues to grow. Christopher's newest CD is an all instrumental album called TAKE IT IN. The inspiration for this CD stems from the quote from Francis of Assisi that says "Preach the Gospel whenever you can...use words only when necessary." The CD features original compositions and arrangements of some traditional hymns and a few cover songs that best reflect what is in his heart...without the use of spoken words. The first radio single from this CD was the popular contemporary hymn, ON EAGLES WINGS which received tremendous response.

Christopher Ames was named ACOUSTIC ROCK ARTIST of the Year at the 2005 KCCM Awards (KC Christian Music Awards) held in Kansas City, KS. In 2006 he added 2 more KCCM Awards to his shelf this time for ARTIST OF THE YEAR and SONGWRITER OF THE YEAR. In 2006, he was also the first recipient of the SPIRIT OF UNITY Award presented at the Indie Momentum Awards held in Nashville, TN. This award recognized Christopher for his commitment to community and fellowship. An award for which he is truly humbled to have received. Just recently, in 2007, he added another Momentum Award to his shelf, this time for INSTRUMENTAL ARTIST OF THE YEAR for his work on TAKE IT IN.

Ministry: Christopher Ames actively supports the work being done at Remuda Ranch, Ophelia's Place and other National Eating Disorder Awareness organizations. Christopher has a personal testimony with this subject as his own wife has been struggling with an eating disorder for many years. Christopher offers a different perspective on this issue. His thoughts come from the perspective of husband and father and how he has had to deal with this disease in his own family. Many men may choose the path of abandonment, but Christopher shows how commitment can help lead to healing. Christopher Ames is available for speaking engagements in which he shares his personal testimony regarding this issue with both words and music-especially at events like Celebrate Recovery, Marriage and Family Ministries, and Youth Camps.
