Jodi Cook Bailey
Jodi loves people with a warm heart and has a joy that is evident from first meeting her. She lives to inspire people to grow closer to God because He created us to have a relationship with Him. She is a gifted vocalist and loves to minister to people in song. Jodi grew up in the ministry as her parents were the worship pastors at the legendary Melodyland Christian Center in Anaheim, CA. Jodi spent most of her childhood on stage singing to thousands at a time. This paid off one day as Oral Roberts himself heard her singing at Melodyland and offered Jodi the President’s Scholarship to Oral Roberts University. This began an adventure of traveling with Oral Roberts and the team, appearing nightly on “The Hour Of Healing” with Richard & Lindsay Roberts, and special singing at the ICBM Conference held yearly on ORU’s campus. This opened the door for her to minister in song for some of the largest ministries in America including Bob Harrison’s Hawaii Increase Event, Benny Hinn’s Miracle Crusades, Kenneth W. Hagin at RHEMA Bible Church (where she met her husband Brent), & for Pastor Tommy Barnett at Phoenix First Assembly, just to name a few.
She has also performed on stage with singing giants Alvin Slaughter, Larnelle Harris, Steve Brock, Lillie Knauls, and Grammy & Dove Award winner Jason Crabb.
She has recorded her own project, “Soul Longing” you can purchase from Amazon, YouTube Music, and Apple Music and has a bachelor’s degree in Sacred Music from Oral Roberts University. Connect with Pastor Jodi on Facebook and Instagram.
