Sharon Damazio

Sharon Damazio (born 1953) is an American teacher, and songwriter best known for the praise chorus “Crown Him King of Kings” (1991). Together with her late husband, Pastor Frank Damazio, she co-led City Bible Church (now Mannahouse) in Portland, Oregon for over twenty-five years. Her ministry combined worship leadership, prayer, and mentoring, and she played a central role in shaping the congregation’s charismatic worship life. Her song “Crown Him King of Kings”—a simple refrain drawn from Isaiah 9:6 and Revelation 19:16—became a hallmark of 1990s praise music and was later included in major hymnals such as The Celebration Hymnal (1997). Beyond songwriting, Damazio has written forewords for devotional works encouraging women in faith and continues to travel and speak at church and youth events. Following her husband’s passing in 2025, she remains active in ministry from her home in Oregon, continuing the Damazio family’s legacy of prayer, teaching, and worship.
