Mackenzie has been running the halls of Calvary Church since she was almost two years old and has always felt the call of God on her life to be a worship leader. She has been leading worship since age 11 in the student ministry when her father, Pastor Ottis, was Student Pastor. In 2017, she moved to Hamilton, AL, to attend the Ramp School of Ministry. During her time there, she was equipped in their worship department and got to travel and minister across the country with Chosen and also Corey Ball Ministries. While in Alabama, she met and married Corey Ball. In December 2020, they welcomed their first-born daughter, Harvest Ball. Mackenzie is passionate about worship and leading God’s people into His presence now more than ever.

Nothing is more important to her than creating an environment where the Holy Spirit can move.
