Worship From Home
When The Collingsworth Family decided to live stream a concert from home to benefit Samaritan's Purse on March 29, they had no idea what God would do with this act of obedience. As a last minute decision, they set up recording equipment to record an event that would be viewed by more than 595,000 people and raise more than $220,000 for Samaritan's Purse, the Franklin Graham organisation that had just moved into New York City, the U.S. epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. The songs they shared were encouraging and calming - something fans so desperately needed as many states were going into government-imposed lockdowns that very week. The Collingsworth Family could not have anticipated what God would do with their simple effort to support Samaritan's Purse. Fans flooded their office with requests for recordings of this event. These CD and DVD releases are in response to those requests. We invite fans to join The Collingsworth Family as they Worship From Home.

He also completed professional trumpet studies at College Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati and earned a Bachelor of Sacred Music degree with a double major in trumpet performance and music education. Kim attended Union Bible College, Westfield, IN where she was instrumental in arranging music performed by the college's traveling music groups.

Their home has seen the addition of four children across the years and the children are now very actively involved in the ministry. Their two oldest daughters are quite proficient on the violin and play at each of their concerts. Their entire family sings together in an ensemble. Kim is well-known for her phenomenal mastery of the piano and the extraordinary talent God has given her is a part of each concert, as well as trumpet solos from Phil.
