The first thing most people ask Mia is "How do you pronounce your last name?"
While her married name is shorter than her maiden name (Grotelueschen) it has caused just as much trouble in the pronunciation department. So, let's get that cleared up before we jump in.
Mia (ˈmē-uh) Koehne (Kane)-Yes, it's that simple and yes, that complicated.
Honestly, that will be the most complicated step in contacting and partnering with Mia. God bless you as you scroll through and learn more about the ministry, music and writings of Mia Koehne.
"Mia's life is a compelling story of sin, surrender, sanctification and song. As a singer/songwriter, Mia's soulful music reflects the painful beauty of human struggles and a passion to worship the God who saves. "~Kris Wagner, Screenwriter

Mia
Mia lives as a testimony to God's grace and His forgiveness. As one who formerly lived in brokenness and shame, she rejoices that God has restored her and identified her as His own.
Inspired to share this message of hope with others, she boldly proclaims the Gospel message of forgiveness to all that will hear.
With a heart for the lost, she prays that others will be freed from the bondage of sin and self destruction through the one and only, Jesus Christ.
She is ready to partner with you in ministry and share through word and song.
Mia is the wife of Bob and the mother of three adult children (who all decided to get married in 2018), Chris, daughter in love, Tracie; Aaron, daughter in love, Eva; and Miriam, son in love, Pedro. 2018 was full of weddings for our growing little family. She is also now an official member of the Grandma club. We are ever so thankful!

The Purpose
Dear Visitor,
This ministry is for you. The songs I sing and the writings I share come from a heart that overflows in gratitude for what my Lord has done and continues to do in my life and what I know He desires to do in yours. The prayer of my heart is that as we sing, speak His Word and share stories and life, we would see His power, just as it was seen when Paul and Silas sang in Prison.
His power rocked the foundations of the prison walls and I pray that His power would rock our hearts and break free the broken from their chains. I pray that hearts are softened by the power of the Holy Spirit so that all might walk in the grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and that in response to His love we would be called to worship the Father, our Triune God.
I am simply a disciple desiring to point people, the lost and the redeemed, to the One and Only, JESUS CHRIST our Lord and Savior!
May you know His saving grace today. May you know that His death and His resurrection have covered all your sins. Faith in Christ Jesus reconciles you and makes you righteous and holy in the eyes of God. He is enough.
Love because He first loved us. Sing because He sings over us. Worship because He alone is Worthy. Thank you for journeying with me because amazing things can happen. . . .
In Him, Mia Koehne
Acts 16:25-26 "About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off!"

Statement of Faith
We believe and respond to the love of the Triune God: the Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God's Word. The three persons of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God.
We believe that the Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine.
By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.
God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.

What People Are Saying
What an awesome "gift" to have Mia as our guest speaker for our church's VERY FIRST Women's Retreat this past September. From the moment Mia's plane touched down and we met her at the curb, there was an automatic connection to her as a sister in the Lord. Mia has a sweet spirit, and her smile shines of God's love. Our retreat hosted 70 women, and she fit right in and became "one of us".
Mia took time to sit with as many women as she could, and talk with them and listen as they shared their story. Mia ministered the Word thru her testimony, teachings, and her beautiful voice, accompanied by her playing the keyboard. Mia ushered in the presence of the Lord, and our hearts were full of His love. It's almost a month since our retreat, and women are still talking of that weekend. We look forward to hopefully seeing Mia again in the year(s) to come. She is a joy! - Deb Sommers, Unity Community Church, Women's Retreat Team, Pittsburgh, PA
"There really are no words to adequately describe Mia's beautiful soul. She's magnetic and is able to reach and relate to her audience in such a way that they see Christ in her and are drawn closer to Him. She's real, she's raw, and she's amazing. Our attendees request her year after year because they have grown to love her. She has an amazing gift of connecting with people in a way that touches deeply and lights a fire witin their heart to know Christ better." –Mandy Pagano, Co-Founder of the Authentic Women's Conference, Belle Vernon, PA and creator of She Heard.
"The very first time I saw Mia leading worship, I thought...this woman really loves the Lord and has a hunger to praise Him. Now, after having many opportunities to worship and pray with Mia, I can affirm that my original thought was on target. Her worship comes from a deep personal relationship with Jesus and a passion that is contagious to those who are worshiping."–Trish Karpurk, Director of Celebrate Recovery, Christ Church, Phoenix, AZ
"We were blessed to have Mia come and be part of our Celebrate Recovery. She jumped in and played with our band for the opening set and then took over for a night of heartfelt worship, sharing, testimony and encouragement. She really created an atmosphere of contemplation, about God and how He’s working in us through the trial of recovery. I’d have her back in a heartbeat!" –Tom Boehne, Pastor of Recovery, The Compass Church, Naperville, IL
“Mia, what a joy, blessing and privilege it was to have you once again leading worship at our women’s prayer retreat! Your sensitivity to the Lord in song selection, sharing your heart and relating naturally to the women led each one of us into the very Holy of Holies. Your worship style and heart for the Lord set the perfect tone for our prayer activities and lessons in the Word. I hope you’ll consider coming back again and again!” – Janet Drez, Women’s Ministry Director, Arizona Community Church and currently with Ministry of Casa de Vida/Octopus Faith
"Mia has an amazing ability to connect others to the heart of worship. Her testimony of God's overwhelming grace and mercy is reflected through her life and music in a way that is refreshing and unique." – Nathan Fisher, Director of Worship Ministries, Cross Lutheran Church, Yorkville, IL
"Mia's music is like a breath of fresh air. Her love for her Savior is so apparent as she leads worship here at Christ Church and around the Valley. God has uniquely gifted her to lead believers into His holy presence." – Pastor Dave Schmidt, Christ Church-Lutheran, Phoenix, AZ
"If you don't know what to say / say God is good" If ever a voice, lyrics, and music came together more perfectly to praise God than Mia Koehne in her new album ...Already in Progress, we certainly can't think of it while listening to her gorgeous music. "Mia's life story is a compelling story of sin, surrender, sanctification, and song" and all of this is evident in her lyrics. Each line gives praise to God. Her soulful voice pays wonderful homage to her Savior and beautifully illustrates the pain and beauty of life. Mia was wise to keep her music simple but deep. It perfectly complements the worship she gives God and moves the heart with every single listen. Where many Christian contemporary albums today are over-produced, leaving you wondering if the singer can really sing at all, Mia's voice shines through in every song, especially "Rags." This song is positively heartrending and beautiful. For a fantastic musical journey, pick up Mia Koehne's new album. You won't regret it!— Variance Magazine
"Hands raised in worship of our Holy God, meaningful, heart-felt lyrics, pain and redemption, and JOY. When Mia leads one of our services, her personal act of worship is infectious and one can't help but desire to grow closer to God through song and prayer. God is using Mia to touch lives, to share His powerful love, and bring us closer to Him through the act of worship." – Amy Gill, Graphic Designer & Magazine Editor, Phoenix, AZ
