When he knelt at the altar as a boy and gave his heart and life to the Lord, Brian had no idea that God had gifted him with an incredible ability to sing. Although he was exposed to music as he grew up in the church, it was not until he was twenty-three years of age that his voice was revealed. Since that time, Brian has been singing from his heart the praises of Jesus Christ.
A great deal has happened since that time. Brian has emerged as one of the finest voices in inspirational Christian music. His dramatic solo interpretations thrill, inspire and move his listeners. Whether Brian is ministering in his hometown church, or sharing in the national ministries of Youth for Christ, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, In Touch Ministries, Love Worth Finding, Turning Point Ministries or others, Brian's vocal quality is matched only by the depth and sincerity of his spirit. His genuine love for God, his family and those around him is evident in all that he does.
Since beginning his full-time ministry twenty-nine years ago, Brian has completed 8 solo recordings including arrangements produced and orchestrated by seven-time Grammy nominee Mr. Lari Goss. These recordings minister to the hearts and souls of all who hear them and have been played across the country on numerous radio stations.
Although Brian is a skilled musician, he is first and foremost a music minister. He lives what he sings, and all that he sings is soul stirring and spiritually stirring.
In September 2018, Brian added his oldest son, Chauncey and his daughter-in-law, Maisen to his ministry. Chauncey graduated from Trevecca Nazarene University in 2015 with a degree in Guitar Performance. He met his wife Maisen at Trevecca in 2012 and they married in October 2016. Maisen graduated from Trevecca in 2016 with a degree in Vocal Performance. They both travelled for PR groups throughout their time at Trevecca and have been leading worship together for over 7 years. They reside close to Nashville, TN and when they are not traveling with Brian, they are both active in the music scene in Nashville through multiple outlets in varying genres. Their utmost desire is to glorify God in ALL types of music, using the gifts that have been bestowed upon them.
These 3 combine to become Brian Arner Family Music. They come together with the breadth of many styles and genres, displaying a spectrum of worship that is sure to touch each person in the congregation.
Kind Words From Our Friends—
“If your church or organization is seeking a special music ministry that is anointed by the Holy Spirit, and uses a solid blend of traditional and contemporary songs that lift up Christ with musical excellence, I highly recommend the Brian Arner family. They appeal to all ages, and will be a unifying presence in your Worship Service or special event. That is a rare combination these days, and the Arner's do it well. They bring the sound of a concert, along with the passion for evangelism and encouragement.” - Rev. Dr. Kevin M. Ulmet, Senior Pastor, Nashville First Church of the Nazarene
“I cannot stress enough how much God worked through you to bless our people and this pastor... It was indeed God's Plan for you to be with us on Sunday, as God used each of you individually, and as a group, to touch folks in a personal way... There was one man in particular, about your age, who has denounced his faith, i.e. he no longer believes the critical truths concerning our Lord...He is a very intelligent man, an engineer for Eastman...Like you and I, he was raised in a devout Christian home, but not states he no longer believes, choosing instead to lean on science...He is also a man who is very talented, in regards to music and drama...Pastor Teresa noticed that he was wiping his eyes throughout the service... Brian, I could go on and on, in regards to how The Arner family touched the Southview people...And, I can assure you, by God's Grace, we will have you back...” Pastor Billy J. Willis, Southview Community Church, Kingsport, TN
