This is a very exciting time for our ministry. We are preparing for the release of our new CD, Michael Moore (Aka Gesnick) is a Christian artist / songwriter / worship leader located in Houston, Texas. Michael leads worship at Terrace, a church in the Spring Branch area of Houston and at the Cowboy Church in the Pearland, Texas. Michael takes an active role in the outreach ministries of Terrace. Many of the songs are inspired by events and people within these faith communities.

Some of my earliest memories involve my desire to play the guitar. It seems I have had a guitar (a toy one at first) in my hands from the age of four. It took six years of asking (begging) before my parents allowed me to take guitar lessons. At the age of ten, the guitar teacher attempted to encourage me to wait and allow my fingers and manual dexterity to develop before taking guitar lessons. He reluctantly took me as a student on a trial basis.

The joy of music and my desire to play guitar has never diminished. I am so grateful that God has given this talent to me. I continue to practice guitar to glorify His name and justify His faith in me.

I believe that God is alive and always seeking to be in a relationship with all people. I believe music helps us to voice our worship to God. Hopefully, the songs of this CD will inspire, renew or rebuild your relationship with God and His people. Surround yourself with persons who add more light than heat. I am constantly amazed and blessed by the people God has chosen to place in my path. I will be forever grateful to all the wonderful people who have generously shared their gifts and talents to make this CD possible.

Aka Gesnick by Michael Moore

Growing up with the birth name of Michael Moore, I became increasingly aware of how common my name really was. It seemed that everyone I met knew of a Mike Moore from a different part of the city. I was constantly asked if I was this Mike Moore or that Mike Moore; or if I was related to Mike Moore, the filmmaker. I once checked the city phone book to discover that there were more Moore’s than any other surname in the directory; and within the Moore’s, Michael was the most common first name. It’s incredible to me that I share the most common name of the most common name.

Early in my music career I was invited to be sixth member of a musical group of which four were named Mike. Each Mike took on his own nickname. I combined two phonetic syllables, ‘Ges’ and ‘Nick’, to create an uncommon name for myself. Although I am no longer performing with this group, the memories were made; the music was created; and the nickname remains with me.
