Belinda Tigell is a speaker, vocalist and songwriter who loves to encourage people in their walk with God, inspiring them to excel in life.
Exercising the gifts of encouragement and special insight, Belinda has a passion to see people set free from the past and experiencing the reality of deep, abiding intimacy with Christ. Her vision is for the church to step into all she is meant to be - open to the reality and power of the Holy Spirit and the new move of God. She longs for the church today to resemble the church of the New Testament - a transformational organism empowered by the Holy Spirit, mobilised to impact individuals and communities with the love of Jesus Christ.
Belinda grew up in a Christian family in the city of Toowoomba and had the joy of participating in church life from a young age – a delight that remains with her today. As a young adult, after completing University, she went on a short term ministry-mission trip throughout the USA and into Mexico. This experience was a pivotal point of her life, as God point out and affirmed her giftings, talents and call.
After teaching for over a decade, experiencing many wonderful opportunities to be a missionary in public schools, Belinda knew unequivocally that the time had come to go into church ministry. She attended Bible College at Hillsong Leadership College and afterwards, commenced working in a local Presbyterian church as a Music Pastor for a number of years.
Throughout this time, Belinda had a growing awareness that God was calling her to the church, not just a church; that He was expanding and widening her tent pegs and that she was to get ready for a stretch (Isaiah 54:2-3).
Presently Belinda travels throughout the Body of Christ leading worship, teaching the Word of God through original songs and preaching. Belinda desires to be used of God to draw people into meaningful and refreshing times of worship, deeper relationship with Christ and a revelation of His work in and through us to reach the unchurched world.
Belinda has shared in many denominations ranging from traditional to charismatic/pentecostal churches.
Belinda believes that the Word of God is powerful and effective to accomplish that which our Lord intends. It would be Belinda’s privilege to share with you and your congregation that which God has revealed and inspired.

Our music ministry team had the pleasure of an afternoon of training with Belinda... Belinda worked with our team, training within the weaknesses that as a team we had identified, throwing in a refresher on vocal theory and microphone technique along the way… The consensus after the training was that fun was had by all. We all learnt something from the session and were eager to put our new skills into practice, giving us all a boost of confidence to continue to grow in our ministry. — Gillian Bonser, St Bart’s Anglican Church, Toowoomba We really appreciated having Belinda, a gracious, gifted minister, sharing in the leadership of the morning service here. She led our worship, and shared some of her personal story and her own songs in a church which contains a wide range of age groups and faith experiences. Her sensitivity to those extremes was appreciated so much that people from all parts of this wide spectrum were very supportive of the suggestion that Belinda be invited back soon. Indeed, Belinda will be bringing the main message, as well as leading the worship, on her next visit next month. — Barry Tattersall, Annerley Church of Christ, Brisbane I believe Belinda Tigell is an exciting new talent in the Spirit led ministry of the prophetic and creative music.
