Sébastien Corn is a Christian singer-songwriter, pastor, and creative director at La Chapelle church in Montreal. As leader of the band Impact, he has written songs adopted by many French-speaking churches, including "Mon secours est en toi," and co-founded the label La Chapelle Musique in 2020.
Sébastien Corn left France, where he studied musicology, to settle in Quebec about twenty years ago. Trained in leadership and then in theology, he became a pastor and joined the team at La Chapelle church in Montreal in 2013, where he serves as creative director. He also leads Impact, the worship band that grew out of the youth of Nouvelle Vie church in Longueuil, which has won an Angel Music Award.
His songs, starting with "Mon secours est en toi," inspired by Psalm 121, have crossed borders and are sung in worship services well beyond Quebec. In 2020, together with artists from his church, he founded La Chapelle Musique, a label that has released several collective albums. In 2024 he also published a memoir, "Infiniment grand," whose twenty chapters are each named after one of his songs.
