"Miles' heart is so apparent from the initial phone call, to the preparations for the time of the concert, as well as follow-up. His call to this wonderful ministry is forefront in all that he does. In my more forty years of ministry, Miles is one of the very best with whom I've worked and presented in ministry concert. We look forward to hosting him again, soon."
Don Parks - Central Baptist Church, Marshall, TX
“Miles is as real and as transparent as he possibly can be. He sings for the Lord. He sings out of his joy for the Lord, but he sings in such a way that you can connect with every song he’s singing."
Pastor Donnie Barron - FBC Elkhart
"It was a privilege to have Miles and Martha Pike with us at Calvary Baptist Church of Cleburne, TX. It is still being mentioned that they were a highlight of our 2016 year. People of all ages loved their ministry, and my wife and I enjoyed getting to know them on a personal level. Real people serving the Lord!"
Lee Wallace - Music Minister, Calvary Baptist, Cleburne TX
"The ministry of Miles Pike is one which covers not only music, but sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Miles' presentation of both is most professionally delivered (even including his humor) and will be enjoyed by all ages. His music is directed at bringing glory to the Almighty God through the name of Jesus Christ, and he most humbly shares his God-given talent to the fullest."
Pam Rains - Secretary, FBC Crockett
"A gospel-centered concert with songs that serve to provide a biblical worldview. High quality, yet down to earth, with an entertaining approach that makes it feel like a worship service with the family. This is Miles Pike."
Pastor Trey Etheridge - Briarwood Baptist Church, Saline, LA
“Miles & Martha are genuine people, and devoted followers of Christ. For a church there is nothing more refreshing than experiencing worship led by genuine believers. For pastors there is nothing more appreciated than entrusting their church to capable and anointed leadership for a worship experience that they too may experience. Whether in song or by the Word, you will be grateful that you invited Miles & Martha to minister to your faith community.”
Pastor Heath Kirkwood - First Baptist Church, Lorena, TX
There are those who sing, there are those who preach, and then there is Miles Pike who can do it all. I’m honored to call Miles and Martha Pike our friends and brother and sister in Christ. Talent only goes so far and there is plenty of it there but Miles works under the unlimited anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Pikes do ministry beyond the stage and truly answer the call to “love thy neighbor as thyself”.
Casey Rivers ~ Vocalist with Canton Junction
My wife and I had the privilege of being able to attend one of his concerts. What I liked most about our experience was that the Gospel was clearly given throughout the entirety of the concert. Miles has been obedient to God’s Word by showing himself approved by the studying of the scripture and it shows forth in his life and ministry. It’s one thing to be able to sing and another to be able to preach, but to do both is a real gift. The Gospel should always be proclaimed in every aspect of a servant of God’s life and Miles does just that.
Daniel Ashmore ~ Bass Vocalist for The Old Paths Quartet
“Miles has worked on numerous occasions with us and his ministry is phenomenal and always doctrinally sound. When Miles Pike came and performed at our church, the house was packed and Miles received two standing ovations along with eager invitations to return from the whole crowd. We plan to invite him back many times in the coming years. A concert with Miles Pike will be the highlight of the year with any church who hosts him.”
Debra White Smith - Author
"Miles is a faithful Stamps-Baxter Alumni with a big smile, big vocal range, and a big love for Southern Gospel music! Miles has a true heart for ministry."
Ben Speer - Gospel Music Legend
"I always love working for Miles. He takes the scripture in Psalms 33 about playing skillfully and applies it to every detail of his music. That’s a lesson we all can learn from."
Keith Compton - Audio Engineer
"As a producer in Christian music and host of a worldwide Christian radio show, it is hard sometimes to get excited about new artists and their music. Most of the time it sounds all the same, nothing new. Then along comes someone like Miles Pike. His sound and style just knocks you out. His music is fresh,and definitely has his own style. You meet people in the Christian music industry who proclaim to be doing this for the Lord, soon you find out it tends to be more about them than God, not so, with Miles Pike and his family. This young man truly is doing it for the right reasons. He is chose to serve Jesus and in my opinion, Christ couldn't find a better or more loyal servant than Miles Pike. He is what Christian Music Ministry is all about!! I am proud to have Miles in this industry and as my friend."
Tommy Smith - Country Gospel Music Artist & President/CEO of Canyon Creek Records
"Miles Pike is a great singer and communicator. His abilities exceed every audience's expectations. More importantly, Miles is called as a witness for Jesus Christ, with or without music. I call him my friend and recommend him without reservation."
Allison Speer - Gaither Homecoming Artist
"These days it seems the pool of talented Gospel artists just gets deeper and deeper. So many young, talented singers are beginning to make their marks in Gospel music and Miles Pike is one of them. What sets Miles apart from the rest is his gift for communicating. His personality comes through in everything he sings. And you can tell when you hear him that everything he is singing has a personal meaning to him. Combine a charming, witty, sometimes even goofy personality with an impressive vocal range (yes, he CAN sing quartets with himself) and you have the makings of an entertaining and uplifting concert."
Tommy Cooper - Award winning producer and owner of AFAB Studio
"If you get an opportunity to have Miles and Martha Pike come to your church and do a concert, you will be blessed. We have had several different folks come in the past, some fairly well known people. But, I had several of our folks tell me that this was the best concert we have ever had."
Pastor Max Martin - Long Lake Baptist Church
"I've worked with literally hundreds of pastors/vocalists/musicians in my 33-year career as a studio bassist. Miles is in that small group of people who do everything to an exceptionally high standard. His talent as a singer is obvious, but his attention to detail behind the scenes and his huge heart for others are what set him apart. He's one of those guys you'll meet for the first time but feel like you've known forever. If only he had a sense of humor - just kidding! I've had the privilege of recording with Miles, and I look forward to more opportunities to work with him and his talented wife, Martha."
Duncan Mullins - Nashville Session Player
“Miles is a great guy who knows how to sing. God gives everyone a measure of talent and I’m glad that Miles is using his abilities to spread the good news of Jesus. If you’ve ever been in concert with Miles, you know how talented he is!”
Mark Bishop - Gospel music artist and songwriter
God's word through your songs deeply affected me last night. I felt like I had been through the washing machine when I left. Thank you!

"That's better than snuff!"
Jim Buckley - First-time audience member, TX
"My experience with him personally has been above reproach. I have found him to be genuine in his Faith and Walk. He was completely sensitive to the wishes of myself and our church in his performance. He has demonstrated to me that he sincerely feels called to this type of ministry. I gladly recommend him to any church that wishes to have a talented singer as a part of their worship plans. If there are questions that I could answer, you can reach me at (phone number hidden)."
Arthur J. (Bud) Rogers - Calvary Baptist Church in Exeter, Missouri
"Miles shows the Spirit of Christ in his music as well as his business dealings."
Rev. Ed & Rebecca Irwin
"Miles,
Your Timeless Songs CD is fabulous! I get goose bumps! You wake me up on the way to work, and calm me down on my way home after a hard day at work."
Betty - owner of Miles' hymns project
Martha and I are amused when people come up and ask something to the effect of “What is your real job?” Well, the “job” part is the mounds of office work, the recording process, web maintenance, hours of scheduling and confirmation calls, and RV maintenance a la dumping ze black water. The moments when we meet a complete stranger, but after worshiping together, find the stranger to be a fellow believer, an intricately made and loved part of Christ’s Body, and a future neighbor in the Kingdom — they are what make the job a joy and not a drudgery.
I consider myself stupefyingly favored because I simply love what I do. Growing up, if I was awake, I was singing. Life revolved around church. I accepted Christ’s gift of forgiveness and eternal life when I was a child, and there’s never really been anything else that I wanted to sing about.
By the age of 14, I had a 5-octave singing range. As with all gifts, thousands of hours of work, study, and instruction went into making it palatable. I started touring in 2006 and the Lord has blessed with over 1700 concerts in 43 states and Europe, 12 projects, a snazzy tablecloth, and the fledgling Miles Pike Podcast. As you can imagine, 2020 saw the tablecloth woefully underemployed, and its return to the workforce has been slow.
In 2006 I met my Martha for the first time. I’m legally blind, but ironically, for me it was love at first sight. For her, there were four years of negotiations in order. We were each other’s first love, first date, and we saved our first kiss for our wedding day. Since then, I've been so blessed to travel with not only the prettiest girl living, but my best friend, pianist, chauffeur, joke-tester, and wisest counselor. I’ve added “superwoman” to the list after our firstborn, Lillie, was followed in 18 months by the birth of the twins, Charlie and Phoebe. Peter calls marriage “the grace of life” and that grace has been invaluable in multiplying the joys and meeting the challenges of what we do.
Really, the joys have often come hand in hand with the challenges. There’s the challenge of being in a full time ministry in which the income fluctuates drastically and the expenses drastically fluctuate. That challenge comes with the joy of learning how to live a life that realizes a full reliance on God
Then there’s the challenge of being a homebody who loves the country but has to live on the road for months at a time. This challenge is balanced by the joy of doing what I am called to do, and having the privilege of doing it all with my Martha and little ones.
There’s the challenge of winsomely yet boldly preaching absolute truth in a society that is decidedly anti-truth, partnered with the temptation to look to my own abilities to change lives. But oh the joy of doing my meagre best, and then watching God reveal truth to the feeble mind, rekindle a fire nearly out, and as Ezekiel said, make a heart of flesh where there had been a heart of stone.
O Lord, everything good in me is due to you.
The rest is my fault.
~ St. Augustine
And always, always, there’s been the challenge of my eyes. From birth I’ve been blind in my right eye, and limited to tunnel vision in my left. I see just enough to fool everybody. I don’t drive. (You’re welcome.) I don’t see much, and my eyes aren’t generally comfortable with what I do see. Blinding migraines are a common occurrence unless I limit reading and avoid bright light, stress, a few annoying relatives, and fatigue. If I ever had to read to an annoying relative in bright light while tired and stressed, it would undoubtedly lead to total blindness. The challenge of my visual limitations brings the joy of seeing God take care of me and my family, give grace to make it through concerts, and show me yet again, that it’s not about me and my ability or handicap.
Through health scares, family struggles, a sometimes anemic national church scene, and the rigors of travel, we have turned to the richness of God’s Word. We have found the faithful exposition of men like Keller, Sproul, Begg, Piper, Dever, Mohler, and many others, to be so very helpful. Our aim in study and Scripture memorization is to help our audience hear the truth, and then respond to the truth in worship. We hope you have been so helped, and we praise God for all of you who have made this journey not only possible, but a sweet joy.
We travel with a Bose sound system and are self contained. Be glad to talk to the in house sound tech with any questions you may have.
