Lydia Ingegneri
For over 20 years Lydia has been leading people into Gods presence through dynamic and passionate worship. Lydia’s powerful and soulful voice carries a breaker anointing; creating an atmosphere for deliverance, healing, and freedom in the lives of worshippers. When Lydia began leading worship at the age of 15 she could never have imagined the doors God would open for her across the globe to not only sing about Gods goodness and holiness, but also declare it through the teaching and preaching of the Word of God.
Born into the home of pastors and missionaries, Lydia grew up surrounded by praise, worship, and solid biblical teaching. She traveled the globe with her church-planting parents, and at an early age discovered a deep love for the local church and the nations of the world. In her young adult years Lydia experienced first hand the power of worship when it comes to personal healing.
Lydia married Scott, the love of her life, in 2003. They have four awesome, passionate, and busy kids – Dominic, James, and twin girls Kelly Joy & Mia. Together they served as Worship & Executive Pastors at Grace North Church, a multi-site congregation in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2011 they took over the senior leadership of Grace North and served as Co-Pastors until 2017. In July 2017 Lydia and Scott resigned as Lead Pastors of Grace North Church and relocated to Nashville, TN. They also launched Awaken Ministries International; a global ministry with a strategic call to awaken leaders and individuals to their divine purpose and destiny through worship leading, preaching and teaching, leadership development and resourcing.
