Todd Carter Koeppen

Booking Info
SHOWS:
The Gospel of John
A (roughly) 45-minute presentation that uses both story and song to journey through the Gospel. Upon request, the time can vary. It's been done in as few as 25-minutes, but that's not recommended. On the other extreme, a pastor recently said, "You have free reign over time, my congregation is used to staying a good two-hours, sometimes longer..." so we dissected it for nearly two-hours.

The Christmas Story
This is a new presentation that, like the Gospel of John, uses story and song to journey through the scriptures. The entire presentation takes nearly an hour, but it is highly modifiable - because the story is so familiar songs/subjects can be passed over - and can be done in as little as 20 minutes.

Worship
Todd has led worship extensively both as a full-time team leader and  as a guest worship leader. He is comfortable in any setting.

Missions
Todd has, on many occasions, helped churches raise money and/or awareness for missions. He interweaves true stories from the mission fields with songs to present a living picture of the Kingdom of God in action today.

COMPENSATION:
Todd does not charge an upfront fee to come to your church. If you are fine with him coming with just his acoustic guitar, he is fine with a love offering or honorarium, or whatever you can do, and the opportunity to sell CDs. 

Todd also performs often with a band. Todd is happy to bring his band, but he does not ask them to play for free. How much the band costs depends on a number of factors, so please email Todd for more information. 

Denominations/Organizations:
Todd has worked with a number of denominations and ministries, and is always happy to add another to the list. He has also worked with secular venues. If you are fine with him bringing Jesus along with the music  he will respectfully strive to work within your organizations parameters.

Testimonials 

“Todd’s presence in my church was an incredible blessing to all who were at worship that morning and his concert that evening.  When he started playing there was an energy, an electricity, that entered our sanctuary.  Truly, the glory of the Lord shone brightly, and those who attended surely felt the presence of the Lord.  Todd is an incredibly gifted, songwriter, worship-leader, storyteller, and performer and his heart for the Lord is evident for all to see.” 
Anthony Rosenberger, Pastor
Crawfordville United MethodistChurch

“......last night we had a concert at our church….Todd Koeppen…does a 45 minute musical journey through the book of John. It was powerful. This was the second time I heard Todd perform and both times were solid. I highly recommend this guy to come to your church/youth group event. I would even recommend him for a Sunday morning service "sermon" substitute.”
Andrew Taylor – Pastor
First Presbyterian Church of Puyallup

"Todd's performance was a real delight, Todd's clever and inspiring presentation of the Gospel of John has a real anointing on it. Very practical, inventive and inspiring way to share the Gospel. If you have unsaved family members or friends who may not be willing to go to church but willing to go to a coffee house or other gig, the Gospel of John presented by Todd Koeppen is a great way to have them hear the Gospel. Todd's ability to connect with the audience makes everybody feel welcome and opens doors within the hearts of his audience, they can move from listening to hearing."
John Gooch, Owner
The LakeCafé (a Foursquare ministry)

“Todd is not only a gifted musician, but more importantly has the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Todd’s song writing is incredible. I believe Todd has a valuable message for today’s world. I highly recommend him for ministry in your church or organization.”
Mitch Dietz, Senior Pastor
Cooks Hill Community Church

"I've had the pleasure of working with Todd in multiple situations.  I've been present to speak when Todd and friends offered a mini concert at a local church, and have invited Todd to sing at a number of other events.  I've found Todd to be wonderful to work with, generous, kind and professional, and willing to serve in most any manner requested of him.  Todd is gifted musically, ministry minded, and I've personally found his music to be an encouragement.  I look forward to working with Todd at future events." 
Eric Spangler, Senior Pastor
Lakeside Community Fellowship

“…I’m impressed in how Todd’s Christian commitment goes beyond the areas of music & worship to an involvement in World Missions. I know of at least two short-term mission trips he has taken to Southeast Asia, which have spurred him on to other projects like recording a CD to raise money for a church in Thailand…Todd is a genuine person where ‘what you see is what you get’ seems to be the case. He demonstrates a caring concern for people and I would recommend him highly to whatever opportunities the Lord may be leading him to.” 
Pastor Jeff Horton
Shoreline Free MethodistChurch

"We are excited whenever Todd participates in our events!  He models true passion for Jesus and great compassion for people. Todd's combination of heart, music and presence creates a welcoming invitation into God's transforming presence.  It's great having someone like Todd to share the journey of faith!”
Dr. John Kiemele, Founder and Director of Selah Center
