The Itzels
A lot of Christian bands and singers have come and gone over the past 34 years, but the Itzels have stood the test of time. Bill and Karen, along with their children, Jessica, Ryan, Shannon, her husband Dan Kraft, and Siri have now been touring full-time for over 3 decades, and even after over 60 recordings, over 400 original songs, and over 3500 concerts, they are more focused than ever.
The Itzels have designed their ministry to supplement the work of the local church. An Itzels' concert includes original music, modern and traditional hymns and Word-driven worship songs, an emphasis on family relationships, and Bible teaching.
There are many accolades that the Itzels could focus on such as Bill's number-one songs, ”Saved To The Uttermost" and "He's Still In The Fire" with the Speer Family, appearances on the Bill Gaither videos, 2 Grammy and 2 Dove award nominations, and headlining concerts for over 40,000 people, but to the Itzels, there is no greater thrill than hearing the voices of God's people lifting musical praise to their sovereign Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
In 1999 Bill and Karen officially sat down and totally re-worked the vision for their ministry. With a philosophy that was focused on how the local church operates and ministers, they were ready to become a one-of-a-kind ministry that churches could count on to fill “pulpit-time” in the 21st century.
In 2012 Bill and Karen formed the non-profit ministry “Bill and Karen Itzel Ministries Inc.” for the specific purpose of spreading the gospel through biblically based songs, street preaching, and mission outreaches.
After all these years, they are still theological, professional, and affordable, bringing families together in worship. The Itzels are singers/songwriters who are committed to Christ, committed to truth, and committed to excellence.
