ABOUT
Cody Carnes is a husband, father, and worship leader who is passionate about creating spaces where artistry and authentic worship collide.

Growing up as a church kid in a musical family, Cody can remember his dad setting him down on a drum kit when he was just two years old. At three, he’d sit in on his mom’s choir practices. By the time he was eight, he was a part of his church’s band and began leading worship when he was just thirteen.

A self-described lover of community with a passion for glorifying the name of Jesus, Cody lives to know God and help other people know Him too, seeing the world become more and more like the Kingdom. He’s won awards. He’s received accolades for his writing and music. But his ultimate desire is to minister to the heart of God and inspire others to behold the name of Jesus no matter what is happening around them. Throughout his life, Cody has experienced the power of praise in seasons of grief. He’s seen miracles in situations that seemed hopeless. And he wants to help others find the life, joy, and peace that can only come from personal encounters with Jesus Christ.

Cody is originally from Texas but now resides in Nashville with his wife, Kari, and their two boys, Canyon and Kingston. He tours across the globe, yet continues to make it a priority to serve regularly at his home church, The Belonging Co.
