Ellen hasn't stopped singing for the Lord since the age of 12, when she was first asked to lead the congregation in song at church. And after her first recording in 2000, she has led a music ministry as a contemporary Christian singer, songwriter and speaker that has touched thousands of lives across the nation.

In 2000, she was inspired to write her first song called Thy Will Be Done , and has gone on to record four CDs since then, including her latest release called Jerusalem. Her mission is to spread the Word of God through her performances by sharing a message of hope, praise and love for our Lord, and helping people to see God's truth in our everyday lives.

Residing in Lincoln, Nebraska, Ellen has been married for nearly 25 years to her husband John and has two teenaged children named Carolyn and Paul. Carolyn sings with Ellen at many performances. You can find Ellen most Sunday's in church where she is music coordinator and choir director.
