Dr. Tim Fisher is wellknown for his work in several different fields of musical endeavor. After receiving both a B.A. and an M.A. degree from Bob Jones University, he taught there on the music faculty for nine years.
While a student and a faculty member, he spent his summers and weekends traveling to local churches ministering the Word of God in song. Tim has sung in well over one thousand churches all over the United States and in several foreign countries. Presently he and his wife, Deborah, are involved with the ministry of Sacred Music Services. Deborah grew up in Finland as the child of missionaries, and received a B.A. and an M.A. in voice performance from BJU. Tim and Deborah are the parents of a daughter, Christina Elizabeth, born in April 1992. Tim received an honorary doctorate from Bob Jones University in the spring of 2003. In 1999, Tim joined the Pastoral Staff at Faith as Minister of Music.
In 1988, Tim founded Sacred Music Services, an organization dedicated to providing sacred recordings for the home. In this capacity Tim uses his abilities as both an arranger and a producer to bring together a variety of groups including a children's choir, an orchestra, a men's choir, and a brass choir. Sacred Music Services has achieved a reputation for producing some of the finest traditional sacred recordings available today.
As a speaker Tim travels to churches, conferences, Christian colleges, and high schools to discuss the issues of Scripture and music. He is author of The Battle For Christian Music (1992), a book that grew out of a need the author saw to address some of these musical issues in more detail. In the fall of 1999, he released a second book called Harmony At Home, addressing musical issues as they relate to home and individual worship. In 1994, Tim was instrumental in starting Discover Christian Music, a company which is dedicated to the distribution of a wide variety of conservative sacred recordings.
Tim brings a unique but biblical perspective to the often controversial subject of Christian music. His involvement as a teacher, a singer, an arranger, a producer of more than 150 sacred recordings, and a student of the Bible gives him the background needed to address many different areas of musical concern today.
