Rick Muchow
Biography
Within the creative vibes of Greenwich Village, Rick Muchow developed his love for singing, guitar playing, and expressing through musical theater. Born in California, Muchow and his mother moved to Greenwich Village when he was six, and when he was 13 they moved back to CA where he continued with his passion for musical expression. During Muchow's high school senior year, while performing in "Godspell," he grasped the meaning of Christianity and converted. Where music used to be his God, music became his instrument for worshiping God. While attending San Jose City College Muchow toured with Gospel Expression, a Spanish gospel singing group. Not speaking Spanish, he learned to serve by playing his guitar. After receiving his Associates Degree in Music, he went on to earn his Bachelor of Arts in Music from San Jose State University. Muchow spent the next two years as youth and music minister at the Warm Springs Baptist Church in CA, and then served four-and-a-half years at the First Baptist Church in Gilroy, CA. He left this church in order to tour America in concert. While finding the concert tour path to be exhausting and not congruent with raising children (he and wife, Laura, have five children), the ministers of the Saddleback Church offered him a position on staff.
