Jimmy and Carol Owens
Jimmy and Carol are among the pioneers of Contemporary
Christian Music and the modern worship movement. They are
Grammy and Dove nominated composers of some 250 published and
recorded songs, including 12 musicals. They have taught
songwriting for over 25 years. As founders of School of Music
Ministries International, Jimmy and Carol, with their teams of
artist/teachers, have strengthened both the technical skills
and spiritual foundations of thousands of musicians, worship
leaders and songwriters around the world.
Before specializing with Carol in songwriting and teaching,
Jimmy was a church minister of music and an arranger/conductor
for two TV series and many albums on most major Christian
labels.
Their award-winning Come Together was the first of
the large arena Praise and Worship musicals. A 2000 article by
Paul Davis in a leading British Christian magazine was
subtitled “How One Musical Changed the Way We Worship.” Come
Together and their prayer musical, If My People, have been
widely embraced by the church in many nations. Their Heal Our
Land has been performed in many city-wide events.
The Owens’s dramatic musicals, such as Show Me!, The Glory
of Christmas and The Witness have brought thousands to faith
in Christ, and their children’s musicals (Ants’hillvania and
others) have taught God’s ways to multitudes of enthusiastic
kids. Their worship songs, such as “Freely, Freely” and “Holy,
Holy” are in many modern hymnals and are used worldwide.
Jimmy and Carol live in Southern California, near the
families of their children. Jamie Owens Collins is a recording
artist, songwriter and speaker, known for her widely used

Buddy Owens is an author and frequent Promise Keepers speaker
and serves with Pastor Rick Warren on the pastoral staff of
