Bill brings a kind of beauty to our services that creates moments of blessing among the people. He has a kind of calming presence and presentation that allows his music to be experienced as prayer. I can offer no higher praise to any musician.
-Robert R. Shahan, Former Episcopal Bishop of Arizona

Bill Campbell's music for worship is a blend of artful, contemporary beauty infused with energy and reverence. He combines a high level of academic learning with an enthusiasm for more commonly expressive styles of music. Be it a piece for choir or solo voice with guitar, the text, vocal line and accompaniment seem to be a single expression, united in the purpose to spread a vision of the freedom of love. As a performer, worship leader and workshop presenter, he is energetic, spreading his enthusiasm with everyone present.

Campbell has been a director of music, worship leader, and cantor for over ten years, serving churches in Arizona, California, and Oregon. Additionally, he has led worship and music for multiple regional and national church events and gatherings. His music is available in published form in Chalice Praise (Chalice Press Publishing), Enriching Our Worship 2 (Episcopal Church Publishing), and Songs for Worship (self-published).
