Who is Andra Moran? 
Andra Moran lives in Nashville, Tennessee where she is a songwriter, singer, author, worship designer and freelance touring musician. The daughter of two insightful, progressive Disciples ministers, Andra spent her formative years in sanctuaries and fellowship halls, singing in the children’s choir, napping on pews, and later leading music in her youth groups. Her father was an Army Chaplain, which took the Moran family all over the world. She grew up making friends from all sorts of backgrounds, seeing people at their best and their worst, and discovering a broad definition of home.
Andra studied music at Belmont University in Nashville, apprenticing in a variety of settings, swapping songs and stories. Her honest passionate writing won her the respect of her colleagues, musical friendships, and regular work on stage and in the studio. Andra is active in ecumenical settings and in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and United Church of Christ, providing music at the local, regional, national and general levels for a variety of gatherings. She offers concerts, workshops and consulting services on worship design, music and leadership in local churches across the country.
In 2013, Andra’s book Brim: Creative Overflow in Worship Design was published with coauthor Rev. Dr. Suzanne Castle by Chalice Press. Brim received the Editor’s Choice Award in 2014 from Worship Leader Magazine. Currently, Andra serves at Woodmont Christian Church in Nashville as Creative Director at The Bridge, alongside her husband, musician Stephen Daniel King. See her website here.
