Passionate is the term that best describes worship leaders Matt and Jason Gingerich.
The Gingerich brothers have spent their entire lives in the ministry. The sons of itinerate
ministers, Matt and Jason grew up on the road, singing in churches from the age of two.
After many years of full-time travel, the Gingerich family planted a church in their
hometown in the heart of Indiana’s Amish country. After leaving home for college and
while serving in other congregations, both Matt and Jason established themselves as gifted
worship leaders and pastors in their own right. By 2002, both Matt and Jason, and their
wives and children, had returned to their hometown and now serve as pastors at Eden
Worship Center in Topeka, Indiana.
Their first release, Wayfaring Stranger, and the recent EP, Overwhelmed, are the result of a
strong desire to make music that not only glorifies the Lord, but also serves as a resource to
facilitate worship within the Body of Christ. Recorded with veteran musician Tim Bushong
(The Channelsurfers/ Lovewar, The Bleed), their CD’s are worship recordings with something
for everyone. From guitar-driven, modern rock anthems, to catchy pop tunes and melodic
worshipful hymns, Matt and Jason display the versatility in their songwriting and musical styles
developed over a combined total of more than 25 years of leading worship.
“You guys are GIFTED. You're the only non-national (non-label) artist WFRN has played in the last
3 years. That wouldn't have happened if you guys weren't in the upper tier of independent artists in
my awareness in this region.” Doug Moore - Program Director WFRN Radio 104.7
Ministry is the focus of everything that the brothers do. Ordained to the ministry on the
same day, Matt and Jason believe that their highest calling is serve Jesus faithfully in
whatever situation they find themselves. Whether it is leading worship on a Sunday
morning at their home church in rural northeast Indiana or traveling internationally,
Matt and Jason bring the same passion to lead others into a place of worship.
