Executive Director: Benjamin Boyer
Benjamin's musical life started in the womb with the sounds of the cello from his mother's practice sessions. From the beginning, it was apparent that music would be a strong gifting for him. At a young age, Benjamin learned to play the violin, piano, and to write music. He further developed these skills at Evangel University in Springfield, MO, earning a B.A. in Music and picking up a B.S. in Pre-Medical Kinesiology. Benjamin extensively studied music composition and Organ at Evangel and went on from there to hold a number of Principle Organist positions in the Springfield and Kansas City area.
Over the last decade, Benjamin has built a skill in Business Development, successfully founding several businesses and selling one. He currently manages real estate portfolios for private investors and operates Christ Through Art Ministries as its Executive Director.
Benjamin's zeal for music is evident by his passion for expressing the rich depth of life in his compositions. He desires to exalt Christ Jesus through his gift of music so that people's hearts may be turned back to our gracious Father in heaven.
Benjamin currently resides in Kansas City, MO, with his wife and 5 children.
