ABOUT CHRIS MCQUISTION

Chris McQuistion is a CCM artist and worship pastor based in Christiansburg, Virginia. His passion is to teach with a song and to help others find a hope and a purpose in Jesus. Chris is also a big advocate for mental health awareness through songs like I Will Not Fear, See Me Through It, Think About That, and I Got Joy (Brand New Day). His music paints a picture of his testimony, after a time where he suffered a traumatic brain injury in college sports, leaving him with a struggle and a reason to exist in this world. He spent a solid year in recovery, which changed his outlook on life and redefined his purpose, to live and to work as worship. He now sees each day as a new day to help bring life change to those in need of that same encouragement. With Chris’ hit songs, such as I Got Joy and Fortress, his passion continues to reach audiences far and wide of all generations.
