Hello, Im Kris Taivalkoski. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy my music. Jesus came to give you life by dying on a cross and raising from the dead on the 3rd day. He loves you!Accept Him into your heart and life today!!!
Check out:
http://www.covenantlifeworship.com/Resources.html or http://cdbaby.com/cd/covenantlife for your very own copy of Night Of Worship.
Please stop and say hello on my message board. Im a minister of the Gospel and enjoy playing the guitar. Ive been playing for 30 yrs or so. I hope you enjoy my playing. All the glory and honour goes to the Lord Jesus Christ.
My wife Pam sings alto on our praise team and is on the Night of Worship Cd. She has a awesome voice and is the most beautiful lady you'll ever see, but most importantly, she loves the Lord with all her heart, a true woman of God. See proverbs 31, shes described there.
My daughter Jessica is the girl you see in the pics. with dark hair. She loves the Lord and does an awesome job in dance and flag/ banner ministry at our church.
My daughter, Kristian is the one you hear singing on Sound of Heaven, Ill Wait, Old Rugged Cross and Amazing Grace . She has been blessed with a beautiful voice and loves singing for the Lord.

Also you will hear our Choir, Praise Team and Musicians from our church in which I am not only the guitarist but an Executive Pastor. The "Night of Worship" project was recorded live and has over 100 hrs worth of work involved in it. We did it as a fund raiser for our church and we hope you would like to help.

I am an Executive Pastor Of a church in Chickamauga Ga. The name of the church is Covenant Life Worship center. This is where you can hear me and my family live as well as the others on the praise team, much like the 9 songs on Night of Worship and Come Together. Service times are: Friday Night @ 7PM, Sunday Morning @ 9 AM & 11 AM.

Why this name?
My mother named me Kris with a K, my Dad named me Taivalkoski (pronounced tie vel kos' key)(named after a town in Finland) and God called me to be a Pastor, hence.... Pastor Kris Taivalkoski
Do you play live?

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Thank God for this site and ones like it, otherwise we little guys would never be able to get our music out and in the peoples hands (or computers).
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

I am new here on this site, but I am glad I came upon your page. I am so amazed at the anointing on your songs and the singers. I know God anoints, but you all are so professional sounding and seem to be very blessed of the Lord to be able to sing and play like that indeed! I am just beginning to play the guitar and have along ways to go to even be a fourth of what I have heard hear tonight. God bless you all and keep up the work for the Lord.

Cool Direction....Phil Keaggy did a version with a E-Bow and had the Bagpipes down , this is better because it takes you to more places . This flows nicely from style to style ...without too many seams . I love the way it builds toward the end , but it does not feel like you are pushing it.. the tune flows . PS- Now with Kristian ( what a voice !!!!), this is one of your best songs .....Dude I love your work anyway, but this is so full of the Glory of our Father it is great...so now I have added more stars
