Ron Kenoly (born December 6, 1944 in Coffeyville, Kansas) is a Christian worship leader whose express mission is "to create an environment for the manifest presence of God". His musical style is one of jubilant praise and individual excellence on musical instruments. Although Ron himself does not play on any of his recordings, he leads comfortably with his voice and is always backed up by a team of world class musicians and a large choir.
He holds several degrees, including a music degree from Alameda College, a Master of Divinity from Faith Bible College, and a Doctorate of Ministry in Sacred Music from Friends International Christian University.[1] His music career began following time spent in the Untied States Air Force.[1] He was originally with a group called Shades of Difference, but family issues caused him to leave the group. His critical success came in 1992 wheh Lift Him Up became the fastest selling worship album to that point.[1] Welcome Home was also critically acclaimed, becoming Billboard's "Top Indie Contemporary Christian music album",[1] and winning a Gospel Music Association Dove Award for "Praise and Worship Album" in 1997.[2] He was signed to Integrity Music, but is no longer recording for them.
