Bio
Composer, choir director and liturgical presenter, Koren Ruiz believes that music is the best evangelical tool given to us. With a passion for service and stewardship, Koren has embodied that belief through more than 15 years of music ministry and composition.
Often ministering alongside his wife and essential partner in ministry, Jessica Ruiz, Koren leads parishes across the nation in concerts, liturgical prayer events, formational events and workshops on Christian stewardship, and guitar-centered skill building workshops like “Guitar Rhythms” and “The Guitar Player in the Liturgical Setting.” He has also participated in the OCP Instituto event series.
Koren and Jessica have two albums published with OCP: Tú Me Sostendrás, released in 2014, and Tu Amor Es Fiel, released in 2019. Several of Koren’s songs are included in OCP’s Spanish-language contemporary collections, including Bendito, Bendito, a compilation album with songs for adoration; Entre Tus Manos, with songs for healing and El Señor Nos Invita, Vol. 3: Cantos para Cuaresma, Pascua y Pentecostés, a bilingual collection with Lent and Easter songs for children.
Koren holds a bachelor of business administration and a bachelor of organizational psychology from Western Oregon University. He also holds a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Portland.
When he is not traveling, he serves the community of Ascension Parish in Portland, Oregon, as choir director. He is also president and founder of Corresponsables de Dios, a consulting organization which promotes the concept of stewardship of the Church's mission through various programs, conferences and Catholic music.
