Worship Ministry

A heart of worship

Born into a family with a rich musical heritage Chris Ulery discovered his passion for music at an early age. By the time he was 12 years old he had already joined his church's worship team, and by the time he was a young teenager had won multiple contests and awards for his musical abilities. After gigging all through high school Chris moved to Nashville, TN and enrolled in a three month extensive training course for musicians seeking to enter the Christian music industry. After completing the course Chris began his first full-time gig as a drummer for the then new radio band called NewFire. As NewFire began to tour with other nationally recognized artists and groups doors quickly began to open for Chris in the music industry.

Then in 2009, Chris Ulery set sail with the chart-topping, Dove Award winning music group FFH (Far From Home) as their bassist. The band has sold over 2 million albums and garnered eight no. 1 hits, multiple Dove awards, a Billboard Music Award nomination, placement in national ad campaigns for Coca Cola and IBM, and 15 top 20 hits. Most importantly, FFH saw over 14,000 confirmed salvations in their concerts, which often featured a time of worship. During his years with the band, Chris Ulery traveled coast to coast performing live for audiences of thousands, as well as performing live on radio, and on numerous national and international Christian television networks.

Since his time touring for CCM artists FFH and Newfire, Chris Ulery has gone on to perform with other nationally recognized artists (you can see a full list in the tabs below) sometimes leading worship for large internationally televised events with well-known speakers and leaders, and other times for a handful of people in a local congregation. Whether it is dozens or thousands the goal is always the same: to put a smile on the face of the lover of our soul and to experience a deep connection with Him through worship. Today Chris owns his own music production company called Zion Beatz and continues to serve on his home church's worship team at Victory Church in Tulsa, OK. If you are interested in bringing Chris and his team to lead worship for your event please fill out the ministry request form on this page.
