About The Artist

Giles Blankenship has served as the Minister of Worship at Snyder Memorial Baptist Church in Fayetteville, NC since 2005. Along with a worship team, he leads the 8:40am worship service filled with fresh sounds of familiar hymns, modern worship songs, and original songs by himself and other local worship leaders. Giles has published 3 cds (Home, The Day is Dawning, and Planted Here) and other singles, which can be found on Apple Music and Spotify. Giles also won the We Are Worship songwriting contest in 2013 with his original song “You Are There.”

Giles’ musical accomplishments are not where his skills stop, however. His genuine presence and worshipful attitude create holy experiences in worship and relationships with all people, and he has a deep desire to connect people with God through music and worship. Giles is married to Kelly and they have 2 college-aged children Davis & Sophie.

We are thrilled to be partnering together with this wonderful group of musicians.
