Author, teacher, musician and worship leader, Vivien Hibbert was born in New Zealand and began full time ministry in 1977 as a teacher of praise and worship. In 1985, Vivien immigrated to the U.S. and served in full-time pastoral and/or music ministry until 1997. Now residing in Texarkana, Vivien is a co-founder and president of The Worship Arts Conservatory, an online school designed to equip worship and art ministries to use their giftings in the area or worship. In conjunction with her responsibilities with the school, she ministers in churches, conferences, ladies retreats, and Bible Schools internationally and throughout the USA.

In 1997 Vivien was privileged to take part in the Promise Keepers Worship Summit where she was involved in developing a strategy for establishing worship internationally with the goal of unifying diverse cultures. She is a regular faculty member of several worship conferences in the United States and overseas, and regularly teaches at Youth With A Mission both domestically and abroad.  As one example of her desire to see the glory of God spread throughout the nations, Vivien was privileged to work with FarsiPraise, a group of former Muslims turned Christian, who produce evangelistic teaching and worship for Iranian satellite tv.  She longs to see ALL nations, generations and denominations involved in a reformation of worship where God’s presence becomes the primary focus and purpose of Church gatherings.

Vivien has produced several music tapes over the years.  Her most recent musical project is called Songs From The Father’s Heart, an inspirational instrumental soaking CD based on the songs the Father sings over each of us. This CD was recorded in Norway in 2013 along with other worship musicians. Vivien has also written a manual on praise and worship entitled Music Ministry that is currently out of print but is still used in several nations. Vivien's book, Prophetic Worship, released in July of 1999, continues to be an excellent and insightful resource for worship teaching and revelation for the Body of Christ. Her last writing project was a devotional book entitled Praise Him,

Vivien recently moved from Sandy, Utah where she attended The Fellowship, a non-denominational Spirit-filled Church to, Texarkana, Arkansas, where she is working to further develop the online school.
