Dr. Ron Kenoly (December 6, 1944 – February 3, 2026) was an American Christian worship leader, singer, and songwriter who became a foundational figure in the global praise and worship movement. His ministry, marked by a mission "to create an environment for the manifest presence of God," impacted millions through high-energy, jubilant worship recordings.
Early Life and Military Service
Born in Coffeyville, Kansas, Kenoly was one of six sons raised primarily by his mother, Edith. After graduating from high school, he moved to Hollywood to pursue a music career. In 1965, he joined the United States Air Force, where he served for three years. During this time, he performed with The Mellow Fellows, a Top 40 cover band that toured military bases.
Musical Evolution and Rededication
Following his military service, Kenoly sought success in the secular music industry. Under the name Ron Keith, he signed with A&M Records and later with the Inner City label, where his 1972 song "Lovely Weekend" sold nearly 200,000 copies. However, he eventually found himself drifting from his faith. After a decade in the industry, and following the prayers of his mother and wife, he rededicated his life to Christ.
Breakthrough and Integrity Music
Kenoly's transition into full-time ministry began in 1985 at Jubilee Christian Center in San Jose, California. He served as the Music Pastor and was eventually named the church's Ambassador of Music.
His career reached a global peak in the early 1990s after he signed with Integrity Music. His landmark live albums included:
* Jesus Is Alive (1991): His debut gospel project.
* Lift Him Up (1992): At the time, it became the fastest-selling worship album in history.
* God Is Able (1994): A Dove Award nominee.
* Welcome Home (1996): Winner of the GMA Dove Award for Praise and Worship Album of the Year (1997).
Academic and Ministerial Achievements
Kenoly was highly academic, holding multiple degrees:
* A music degree from Alameda College.
* A Master
