Bethany Barr Phillips

Leading worship and sharing her story of healing, Bethany Barr Phillips takes eight years of church staff experience to the road with a vision to share the Gospel through worship. She has opened for artists such as Andrew Peterson and Bebo Norman, been in lineups with Audio Adrenaline and Toby Mac, and has led worship on platforms with gifted speakers like Scott Dawson, David Nasser and Dr. Jay Strack. Through these experiences, her heart for leading worship and seeing God move among His people only becomes greater.

In January of 2006, Bethany was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer after miscarrying her first child. After six months of chemotherapy, she is now living cancer free. She is mother to Isaiah Jewel and wife to Andy Phillips.

Student Life is excited to have Bethany Barr Phillips leading students in glorifying Christ through praise this summer.
