All-Age Family Ministry, Outreach Concerts, Workshops and Retreats
Chip Richter's musical DNA is rooted in the church. For several years Chip served as a worship leader for teenagers and adults and began writing songs for congregational worship and speaking and leading workshops on the ministry of worship. Then after his "Burning Bush Experience" Chip's path changed dramatically and he found himself in front kids and family audiences full-time. Ministry to the whole family has always been his focus and continues to be. We love helping local ministries create fun, powerful, cross generational, memory making, seed sowing, love and laughter generating, all age events they can offer to their church families and as an outreach to their communities.
Chip Richter's music and ministry has proven to be a wonderful resource for churches who are looking to encourage, inspire and equip not only the children but the whole church family.

What Churches are saying...
- “Chip is gifted in drawing a larger sense of purpose in a community through the medium of music and story telling. His gift is creative, engaging and impacting... for kids and adults of all ages.” -Tom Roepke, Pastor, Linden Road Presbyterian Church
- “I have always been impressed with Chip's great ability to craft a song, excellence in musicianship and his unique spin on something that no one else has done. Best of all, Chip loves kids and families, has a great heart for ministry so that shines through in his music. You won't be disappointed if you choose to have Chip come to sing at your Church or Family Event." -Mary Rice Hopkins, Award Winning Christian Children's Singer Songwriter.
- "The wonderful gift that Chip has is his ability to appeal to a wide audience. Everyone, from toddlers, preschoolers, elementary students, Moms, Dads, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and our Pastors were all entertained, inspired and engaged by this touch-your-heart and make-you-smile family concert. I highly recommend that any MOPS group or anyone with a heart to minister to children and their families consider hosting a Chip Richter Family Concert for your own members or the larger community." Jessica Hover- Director of Montessori School of Bowling Green
Types of Ministry Opportunities with Chip...
Chip is available and willing to be a resource to those Churches and Ministries who want to bring him to their faith community. Some of the types of ministry Chip has shared with Churches in the past include:
- Family Concerts- Many Churches have hosted a Chip Richter Family Concert in the evening or afternoon just to celebrate kids and families and to bring their own faith community together for a fun and inspiring cross generational event, and at the same time encourage families to invite their friends and make it an outreach to their community as well. We have some great ideas for how to make this type of an event a great success.
- Sunday Morning All-Age Worship Service (This is popular with Churches who do a "Rally Day" to kickoff the new Sunday School term but is also just a fun way to include everyone in the Sunday morning gathering. This is a fun, interactive, musical filled time for everyone in the congregation. Chip weaves a scriptural message throughout the music and can tailor that message to fit whatever theme may be appropriate for that Sunday.
- Holiday Concerts Chip has been invited to be the entertainment for many Churches Christmas Banquets or Church Decorating Parties. Chip's Fall Family Concert is a great "non-spooky" alternative during the Halloween season, focusing on Light and Life, rather than Darkness and Death.
- Cabin Fever Winter Concerts Here's a great event to plan in the dead of winter after the holiday season is over and we are all getting just a little weary of winter. Churches and Christian Schools have used Cabin Fever Concerts and Jammin' In Your Jammies Concerts as fun outreach events to kids and families in the community.
- Roots and Wings Parenting Workshop This workshop is for Parents and Grandparents of young children interested in building a foundation of faith for their children's lives. Roots and Wings (presented in the morning) is designed to be a perfect fit with a Family Concert (presented in the evening) to create a wonderful weekend of ministry, instruction, encouragement, fun and entertainment for the whole family!
