Carole Brewer passionately reflects lasting expressions of God's love. Her unique presentations are a seamlessly interwoven blend of dynamic, heartfelt messages and Carole's beautiful songs of worship. Audiences will connect with Carole and take with them hope, encouragement, life-transforming truths, and a rekindling of love for our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Born cross-eyed and legally blind in her left eye, Carole was ridiculed in elementary school for her outward appearance. Her eye was straightened through surgery at age nine, but her heart was not. Carrying past hurts from childhood into her early adult years, Carole lacked the self-confidence and sense of purpose that only a personal relationship with Jesus Christ can bring. During her senior year of college, Carole opened her heart to the truth of God's Word, surrendered to His will, and received her esteem as an heir in Christ. Today, using her gifts of speaking, writing, and music, Carole beautifully expresses the new life she has found in Jesus Christ, greatly encouraging the hearts of others.
With effervescence, Carole has shared her speaking and music on Christian television programs, with speakers Carol Kent and Joni Eareckson Tada, and for church ministries in Canada, Germany, Denmark, Iceland and in many regions of the U.S. As a singer and pianist, Carole's wide variety of music styles and songwriting are represented in her four solo CDs: Celebrate the Lord, Everything Began With You, New Life, and The Work of Your Hand (Servant's Heart). Also a creative writer, her stories have been published in WT Online, Inspired Women Magazine, Jubal Magazine, iLevite, and in three books: Give Thanks! (Essence Publishing), Kisses of Sunshine for Teachers (Zondervan), and Conversations on Purpose for Women (Zondervan). She is also the author of Cookin' Up a Song (JW Brewer Music), a very popular and inspiring self-help manual for singers.
Carole has a BA in Music, an MA in Education, four teaching credentials, and a Diploma in Professional Modeling. Her Biblical studies include training from Bible Study Fellowship, Community Bible Study, Women of the Word, and Capital Bible Institute.
Carole and her husband, Jan live in Sacramento, California serving together in their home church and in a variety of ministries under the guiding hand of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Ministry of Music . . .
Describing music as "the breeze on which God's truth can soar", Carole's purpose for presenting a concert is to exalt the name of our Lord, minister God's word, touch lives, and encourage others to walk each day in the newness of life.
Carole is a songwriter and an accomplished musician who ministers in a wide variety of musical styles. Even those not familiar with the Gospel message will be blessed by her beautiful four-octave range and vocal varsatility. Carole leads the congregation into the presence of the Lord from the piano and with CD accompaniment tracks.
SPECIAL NOTE! . . . Carole brings both the message and the music!

"I learned more from Carole Brewer's one hour presentation than I learned in six years of voice lessons." Phyllis Regester
"I attended Carole Brewer's "Cooking up a Song" seminar at the ACSI Teachers' Convention. I learned so much valuable information that I am still digesting it. I put several tips to work in the classroom--both in teaching high school Speech and in elementary Spanish, where we do a lot of singing. My sound is much clearer, and Carole saved my voice from being over-extended by the end of the day!"
