About Chris Ulery
Author. Speaker. Worshiper.
Chris Ulery is an evangelist with a driving passion to raise a generation of true God lovers who live to touch God’s heart. Chris was born into a pastor’s family and knew from an early age he was called to preach.
While attending a worship/evangelism school in Nashville, TN, country and bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs prophesied that Chris was to be “a communicator for the Kingdom of God.” (Read the full story →) Afterward, Chris began receiving invitations to minister, in both word and song.
In 2009, Chris set sail with the chart-topping, Dove Award-winning music group FFH. This led to a whirlwind season of TV and radio performances, and coast-to-coast travel to perform live for audiences of thousands. As Chris’s travels took him into churches all across the nation, he felt led to focus on speaking ministry and enrolled in world-renowned Rhema Bible Training College in Broken Arrow, OK to prepare.
After graduation, Chris led youth and young adult ministries, including Genesis Student Ministries, where attendance multiplied more than tenfold in under two years. That growth led to the opening of a new youth facility on the town square. Today, Chris travels, ministering from his upcoming book, Is God Mean?, while serving in monthly outreaches with Vital Society and on the board of Project 600.

I listened to and read so many pastors and scholars with years and years of education and experience but they couldn’t explain these things.
How did you acquire this knowledge?! Awesome!
