Gospel powerhouse Bri Babineaux has reached an inspiring new milestone-and this one goes far beyond the music stage.
The contemporary gospel singer has officially been ordained as a minister, sharing the joyful news with fans on social media as she stepped into a brand-new chapter of ministry.
Making the moment even more meaningful was the man who performed the ordination: Pastor Louis Miller of House of Freedom Church in Lafayette, Louisiana. Miller, who helped raise Bri after her parents divorced when she was a toddler, proudly spoke over his stepdaughter during the ceremony, calling her a "warrior" as family, friends, and supporters celebrated the emotional occasion.
For longtime fans, the moment feels like the next natural step in a journey that has always blended music with ministry.
Babineaux first captured hearts after her breathtaking cover of Tonex's "Make Me Over Again" went viral online, launching one of gospel music's most celebrated careers. Since then, she's scored multiple Billboard chart-topping projects, earned several Stellar Award nominations, and become one of the genre's most recognizable voices.
She continued expanding her influence in 2020 with her collaboration alongside Maverick City Music on the worship favorite "Love Is a Miracle," further cementing her reputation as both a gifted vocalist and worship leader.
Her personal life has also been filled with milestones. In 2024, Bri married acclaimed gospel hip-hop artist Da' T.R.U.T.H., creating one of gospel music's most admired power couples.
Now, with ordination officially part of her story, Babineaux is embracing an even greater calling while continuing to release music, including her latest album, BRIANA.
From viral sensation to chart-topping recording artist-and now ordained minister-Bri Babineaux's journey continues to inspire believers around the world.
Congratulations, Bri, on this incredible new chapter!
