Roger Cullins: lover of God, worship leader, and songwriter. His life and message are devoted to pointing people to Jesus- possibly for the first time - and draw them closer to Him for a lifetime. Roger believes the good news of Jesus inspires hearts and lives to give sacrificial and joyful praise. In a way that is neither intimidating nor watered-down, he points people to God with the combination of His passions: worship, encouraging others, and music! Roger's newest original album, Songs of the Savior, was inspired by life experiences in his personal walk with the Lord. “I don’t aspire to be a celebrity,” said Roger. “But because of my love for God, I’m not scared to stand out and lead others to Him. I want every part of my life to honor and glorify the Lord; that’s why God gave me this gift of life.”
Whether on stage in front of thousands or in a room with just a few people, Roger’s leadership style is warm, personable and inspired by the Holy Spirit. Once you meet him, you feel like you may have known him forever. His love for the Lord is refreshing and contagious and his music pours from his heart. Roger leads worship across the nation at various churches and events, seeking to encourage people with the hope, love, and presence of God. Previously, Roger led worship weekly and directed the bands and singers at Houston’s First Baptist Church, where he served on staff for over 5 years. In January 2010, Roger left that fruit-filled and impactful season of ministry at HFBC to launch his current ministry of leading worship and equipping and encouraging worship ministries.
Growing up in a large, musical family of 7, Roger’s love for music started at an early age. His worship leadership took root in high school when he started leading for his peers in youth group and chapel services at Bay Area Christian School. He became very involved in the worship leadership in college while at Howard Payne University. Roger served as a youth minister for almost two years before God called him to travel weekends and summers leading worship with his brothers in the band Until Then. His opportunities to lead worship came from numerous LifeWay Student conferences including: Centrifuge at Union University, Glorietta, Ridgecrest, Panama City Beach, and SBC Camp at the Annual Convention. Other opportunities have included Song of Solomon Conferences, Houston Metro Bible Study, nationwide D’Nows and various church retreats.
Roger graduated from Howard Payne University in 2003 with a BA in Communications, and has since studied at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. If he’s not making music, Roger enjoys golf, fishing, spending time with friends and family, and most any sport.
