Titus Chapman

Worship Leader

 

 

Titus grew up in a musical family of nine children, each child with their own unique musical giftings. At four years of age, Titus began playing percussion as his family traveled singing and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. His desire to learn and grow led to Cincinnati Christian University. It was there, he was mentored by a professor that took note of Titus’s passion for creating an all inclusive worship environment where all God’s children can worship together freely. Titus has shared his passion for the Lord to numerous churches, ministries, schools, and worship events throughout the Cincinnati, Lexington and Louisville areas over the past 15 years. He has conducted workshops on Bridging Cultural Gaps in Worship and helped locally with Worship on the Water for several years. Titus is married to his wife of many years, Laura.
