Authentic — in her delivery, in her walk, in her heart.
Mollie learned the basics of the flute in her school band, and then wanted more. She taught herself to play by ear, lifting Beatles vocal lines straight off the records, and learned to sing harmony the same way, from Karen Carpenter and the Second Chapter of Acts. Guitar followed. By college she was in the Morehead State orchestra and its jazz vocal ensemble, and spending weekends on the road as lead singer, flute player, and songwriter for a Christian band called Dawn Treader.
Ohio came next, and two careers at once. She led worship at Ginghamsburg Church in Tipp City and taught school in Huber Heights, where she started a music group with her eighth graders that sang in malls and nursing homes every Christmas. She played the Darke County Fair, the Strawberry Festival, the Englewood Arts Festival, charity events for Dayton Children's Hospital, and the Aviano air base in Italy. In 1997 she became an Artist Associate with World Vision, finishing among the top ten in the country four years running for the children she helped get sponsored, and recorded four albums along the way.
Then she went back to school. For years she had been volunteering her voice at hospice, singing for patients and the families sitting with them, and after she finished a Master of Divinity the chaplain supervisor asked why she was only volunteering. She spent the rest of her working life as a hospice chaplain, known there as the Singing Chaplain. With the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association she served as a Rapid Response Chaplain, deployed after floods, hurricanes, and the tsunami in Japan, and she was the first volunteer on the organization's Search for Jesus internet evangelism team — going on to coordinate the Midwest region for seven years.
She and her husband Mark are retired now in Leesburg, Florida. Her Christmas program is an annual date at the Leesburg Library, and she has presented Christmas programs at the Howey‑in‑the‑Hills and Mount Dora libraries as well, along with veterans programs, arts festivals, and events in The Villages. Each year she returns to Ecuador with a medical mission team. What audiences remember is often the talking between songs — where a hymn came from, why it still holds.
Listen
Recordings drawn from her four albums — Riding the Wind, Invitation, Hymns for a New Millennium, and the Christmas record The Star Carol — which mix her own songs with hymns and standards. Signs and Wonders was released as a music video and aired on TBN and Sky Angel.
The albums
Everything Mollie has recorded, playable in full. Two of these are albums of her own songwriting; the other two are the hymn and Christmas records her concert programmes are built on.
Her first record, and the one that shows what she does when nobody hands her a hymnal: ten of the twelve songs are her own.
Ten of these twelve are hers as well, several of them set directly from the Psalms and from Revelation.
The record the Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual Songs concert draws from — traditional hymns alongside songs by Fernando Ortega, Albert E. Brumley and Timothy Mark Pickell.
The Christmas record she made for her father, and the source of the Christmas: Past & Present programme. The standards are recorded under licence, each one credited on the sleeve.
What she brings
Drawn from her album Hymns for a New Millennium along with selections from her other records: songs that carry the testimony of faith across several centuries. Mollie sings them and tells where they came from — who wrote them, and what they were living through at the time. Suited to a sanctuary, a fellowship hall, or a mid‑week service.
Built on her Christmas album The Star Carol, which she recorded for her father. He had survived cancer thirteen years when it returned just after a Thanksgiving, and she asked him to choose the songs; he picked the standards of the war years he had grown up with. White Christmas was his favorite, and she still dedicates it to him every time she sings it. Warm enough for a public library, reverent enough for a sanctuary — and an annual tradition at the Leesburg Library, with programs presented at the Howey‑in‑the‑Hills and Mount Dora libraries as well.
Programs for libraries, veterans gatherings, senior communities, hospitals, arts festivals, and women's events — music paired with a spoken message where that fits the room. She has sung for veterans programs in The Villages and Plantation, at South Lake Hospital, and for the Women of Worth team at South Lake Christian Church.
In their words
Pastors & worship leaders
“I cannot recommend Mollie Magee highly enough as a Christian leader and talented musician. As an incredible vocalist and gifted instrumentalist, her musical prowess is surpassed only by her love for the Lord. The word I would use most to describe Mollie's ministry is authentic. She is genuine in her delivery, genuine in her walk, and genuine in her heart to use music to draw others to the Lord.”
“All of her musical offerings to the Lord with flute, guitar and voice were well prepared and presented with power and beauty. The Holy Spirit fills her and she is free to follow His leading.”
“Through her great musical gifts and depth of spirit, Mollie's ministry has always touched me. She is one who is deeply committed to serve and honor the Lord Jesus Christ.”
“Thank you for the wonderful, inspiring program you presented to our ladies at Girls Night Out. It was so impactful and heart inspiring. We're sure many hearts were touched by your music and message.”
Libraries, civic & cultural programs
“A staple of our annual holiday lineup at the Leesburg Public Library, Mollie consistently delivers a spellbinding performance. Her Christmas program has become a tradition for our patrons because she does far more than just play music. By sharing the engaging stories behind classic standards and newer favorites, she fosters a deep sense of community and connection that can resonate long after.”
“I am pleased to be counted among the many supporters of Ms. Magee's music and mission. She is using the talents that God has given her to serve others, especially the least among us. Like King David in the Psalms, she is raising her voice in praise of our Creator.”
“One of our youngsters, age 11, was so impressed by Mollie's ability to play various instruments and to use them in ministry that her parents say she is practicing her piano with renewed enthusiasm. This little girl's life has been positively impacted — she wants to use her talents in church worship, and we are going to make that happen.”
“Devoted wife and mother, quality citizen, Christian leader, dedicated teacher, and superior vocalist describe my friend Mollie Magee. Her energies, talents, and civic participation assist us in achieving our goal of making great things happen here.”
“Mollie, your concert was encouraging and uplifting. We were extremely blessed to have you here to share your talents with us. Thank you for sharing your talents and mission. I know many of our people, as well as myself, were touched by it.”
Beyond the concert hall
Every year Mollie travels to Ecuador with a medical mission team of doctors working out of Fairhaven Church in Kettering, Ohio, serving communities outside Quito. While families wait their turn to see a doctor — which can take most of a day — she runs music and art for whoever is waiting, children and grandparents alike. A flute, a guitar, a puppet, and a stack of paper and paint.
She has carried the same flute and the same box of paints a good deal further. In November 2013 she spent eleven days in Yei, South Sudan, with a team of twelve on a malaria mission, and there have been orphanages in Bolivia and clinics in half a dozen other countries besides.
It is the part of her ministry she says least about from a stage. Some of what she is paid for a concert goes toward getting her back there the following year.
