AUSTIN BIEL Austin Biel has been a passionate musician since he was six

years old, starting with classical piano and continuing to grow in all areas of music and the art of worship, including mastery of multiple instruments and genres.

His ministry started 25 years ago, and since then, Austin has traveled the world leading worship, teaching, producing, mentoring, speaking, and preaching the message of creativity and artistry in the Holy Spirit.

While based in Houston, TX and Lakeland, FL, he traveled for 10 years with Benny Hinn Ministries, held staff positions at Lakewood Church and Second Baptist in Houston, and has served as a consultant, speaker and producer for Oral Roberts University in Tulsa and Southeastern University in Lakeland.

Recently, Austin has been developing curriculum for a school of worship arts out of Austin, TX. He has been mentoring and training worship leaders, prayer room leaders, and other artists all over the world while playing and leading worship with various ministries in central Texas.

Austin’s heart is for worship and worship artists. He contends for anointing, excellence, mastery of craft and maturity, for himself and the Body of Christ, based on a solid foundation of relationship with the Holy Spirit.

AUSTIN BIEL

Testimonials “If ‘worship leading’ had a guild, [Austin Biel] would be

considered a master craftsman. His love for God, ability to lead and support, creativity and facility set him apart... He

has a mastery of his subject and an innate capacity to connect with each student... You are making a wise choice

if you bring Austin in to lead worship or train worship leaders.”

Pastor David Harwood Pastor of Restoration Fellowship/Director of Love of God Project !“I’m frustrated with this endorsement. The frustrating part

is trying to communicate the importance of Austin’s message and the uniqueness of the instrument that

carries it. He is incredibly talented, sincerely passionate, and he is contagious. His music and his message affects everyone in the room. So does his heart. His depth in the

word is reflected in his worship. Nuff Said…”

“I have used Austin Biel on many engagements and in many different settings and he’s always been a delight to work with.

Austin is one of those musicians that continually surprises me, it seems his knowledge of his instruments, music and

worship, have no bounds… He is an aggressive instrumentalist as well as an aggressive worshiper. I

wholeheartedly endorse his ministry and his lifestyle.” Leonard Jones

President of Levite Praise Institute/Former Worship Leader for Morningstar Church

!“He is a “chief musician” whose humility shines through his

worship. It is with joy that I recommend him to you!” Rick Pino
