About us

Worship. Witness. Service.

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord." — Psalm 150:6

Simple Praise Ministry (SPM) is a Catholic evangelization ministry dedicated to forming missionary disciples through authentic worship, leadership development, publishing, media, and education.

Founded in 1990, our ministry exists to help people encounter Jesus Christ, grow as His disciples, discover their God-given gifts, and serve the Church with joy and humility.

Everything we do is centered on one purpose:

To glorify God and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our Vision

To become a trusted Catholic ministry that forms worshipers, equips leaders, creates Christ-centered resources, and inspires people around the world to live lives of worship, witness, and service.

Our Mission

Our mission is to lead people into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ by proclaiming the Gospel through music, education, publishing, media, and ministry formation.

Simple Praise Ministry exists to inspire people to encounter Jesus Christ through authentic Catholic worship, faithful discipleship, and joyful service to His Church.

We believe that every person is called to know Christ, grow in holiness, discover their God-given gifts, and use those gifts to build up the Body of Christ.

That is why we exist.

Simple Praise Ministry evangelizes through:

• Worship and Music
• Leadership Formation
• Catholic Education
• Books and Publishing
• Digital Media and Communications
• Parish and Diocesan Ministry Support

Through these ministries, we seek to form missionary disciples who live the Gospel and share Christ's love with the world.

Our Purpose

We exist to glorify God by forming missionary disciples who worship wholeheartedly, witness courageously, and serve faithfully.

Our Motto

Worship • Witness • Service (Work)

We believe every Christian is called to live the threefold mission of Christ.

Worship (Priest)

Offer our lives completely to God through prayer, praise, the sacraments, and holy living.

"Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God." — Romans 12:1

Witness (Prophet)

Proclaim the Gospel through our words, music, publications, media, and everyday lives.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations." — Matthew 28:19

Service (King)

Love others through humble service, leadership, stewardship, and acts of charity.

"Whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant." — Matthew 20:26

What We Do

Simple Praise Ministry serves the Catholic Church by providing:

• Worship teams for conferences, retreats, missions, and parish events
• Worship leader and musician formation
• Leadership development
• Catholic conferences and evangelization events
• Original worship music
• Catholic books and publications
• Multimedia production
• Parish ministry consulting
• Educational resources and training

Every ministry we serve is another opportunity to lead people closer to Christ.

Simple Praise Ministry began in 1990 after Founder Jojo Concepcion responded to God's call to lead His people in worship.

What started as a small worship ministry has grown into a Catholic evangelization ministry serving parishes, dioceses, conferences, retreats, and communities across Hawaii, California, Arizona, and beyond.

Over the years, the Lord expanded the ministry from leading worship to forming worship leaders, training musicians, publishing Catholic resources, and using every available means to proclaim the Gospel.

Since 2021, Jojo has also served as the Coordinator of the Diocese of Phoenix Catholic Renewal Ministries (CRM), continuing the mission of spiritual renewal, evangelization, and leadership formation throughout the Diocese of Phoenix.

Today, Simple Praise Ministry continues to answer God's call through worship, publishing, media, education, and missionary discipleship.
