“It has been a blessing to know Nick Akin and family most all of his life. He was two years old when his family came to be a part of Harp’s Crossing. I watched him grow, confess Jesus as Savior and Lord. It was my honor to baptize him, do his premarital counseling and perform his and Julie’s wedding. He has been called of God to present the message of the gospel through music and the testimony of his growing family.

Nick has a love for the truth, the gospel, the church and the family. It is for these and many other reasons that I recommend him, his ministry and family to you without reservation and with great confidence.”

“I have enjoyed the privilege of having Nick and his family at North Metro several times for different events. What a blessing he was to our congregation. Without hesitation I recommend this young man to your church, ministry, or group. He will be a fresh touch of heaven for those he ministers to in your care. He is a talented songwriter, as well as an exceptional singer of the Good News of his Savior, Jesus Christ. He possesses the gift and the ability to reach across generational lines and is being used by God to bring revival to our churches, families, and nation. Invite him and be blessed.”

“Nick Akin comes from a family of servant-hearted Christ followers. He is an extremely gifted musician and songwriter, but he is an even better person. I have known Nick for many years and have used him to lead worship in a variety of settings. Nick sings and plays with excellence, enthusiasm, and excitement!

I wholeheartedly recommend Nick Akin to you. I can testify that he will greatly bless your people while bringing much honor and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.”

“Nick Akin is an outstanding young Christian musician and soloist. Yet, he has the ability to connect with all ages of your church. His voice is pure, but the best trait of Nick is he has a pure heart. He has a great love for his family and it is very evident in his ministry. I highly recommend Nick Akin to serve in your ministry.”

“This past fall we had a last-minute opening for one night of our revival. I had seen some information concerning Nick and his ministry and felt that he would be a great fit for our services. We always desire in our services to have someone who is Spirit-led and lays a foundation whereby the minister is able to speak the truths we need to hear. Nick was perfect for this role. His vocal talents along with his instrumental talents brought our congregation close to the throne and created an atmosphere where anyone could worship. I wholeheartedly recommend Nick and can’t wait until he is back with us again. Please give him a call. You will not be disappointed.”

— Rev. Darryl D. Womack

Pastor, Montgomery Memorial Baptist Church, Gainesville, GA

“It is rare to find a Christian music artist that can appeal to multiple generations, but our church has found just the right person in Nick Akin. His music spans across genres in such a way that the youngest and eldest can enjoy the ministry together. As a pastor, I so appreciated not only the talent, but also how Nick has woven the gospel message and his love for Jesus into every facet of his music. Our church was also inspired by the way he makes his family a priority and essential part of his ministry; we were also moved by the way he took time to personally love on our people. Nick Akin is so much more than just great music. He is a man who truly lives out the gospel message.”

Pastor, Southside Baptist Church, Mooresville, NC

Nick has a special way of leading a Christ-exalting time of worship that is full of Gospel truth applied to real life struggles we all share, yet also energetic and flat-out fun! His original songs have lyrics that are Scripture-rich with a Spirit-led prayerfulness and readiness to walk with Jesus…which leads me to want to follow Jesus more closely together with him! 

Musically, Nick is a true professional and in a class of his own, both vocally and instrumentally, and could use his musical gifting alone to go make real money. But what so encourages me about this man is that he chooses to obey Christ’s call on his life, focusing on raising a Christ-honoring family first, and then uses his amazing gifts for the glory of the One Who so gifted him! 

Having been graciously redeemed, Nick understands that Jesus rescues us all for HIS glory’s sake as He simultaneously calls us “to spread our enjoyment of His beauty to our world”! That’s why our church exists – and that’s why East Ellijay Baptist Church will continue to enjoy the ministry of Nick Akin in the years ahead!

Pastor, East Ellijay Baptist Church, Ellijay, GA

“What a blessing it was to have Nick, Julie, and their family come and lead us in worship. You could tell that His heart of worship was from a deep love for the Father and a continual growing relationship through Jesus Christ. Our church is filled with different ages of believers and Nick did a great job of bridging that gap. It was a wonderful, Spirit filled time and I would encourage you to have Nick and his family come to your church.”

Pastor, Zion Hill Baptist Church, Andalusia, AL

“Nick Akin was recommended to me by a friend that I deeply trust. We had Nick and his family for a one night musical worship event and we were extremely grateful that they came.  His music was beautiful and Christ-honoring. It was much better than a concert; it was true worship. His family and their testimony of how God has built their family was very inspiring and challenging. I was very grateful for how well he connected with all age groups in our church. 

After having Nick and his family come to Hopewell, I wholeheartedly recommend him to any church that would like to have a Spirit-led worship experience that connects across age groups. He was easy to work with and easy to get to know. Many people have said how glad they were that Nick and his family led us in worship.”
