With their own hearts yearning to see the kingdom of God established on Earth as it is in heaven, the band desires to impact the body of Christ through bringing the reality of the Father's presence, life, and love to every gathering, while promoting a genuine relationship with God in the midst of their worship—and they have done just that.
Everywhere they go, they experience greater depths of joy, and a release of the prophetic in the local church. They hear testimonies of miracles and healing taking place in their worship services and authentic life changes coming as a result of God’s presence. Their desire to meet with Him has resulted in genuine worship, changing not only their lives but the lives of those who experience God through their music.
Performing first on the familiar stage of their home church, City Church of Tampa Bay, and sister venue, The Porch, the band soon began receiving interest in leading regional worship events. They have been called on for worship services, camps, events and conferences for youth, college and adult audiences and completed two national tours off their debut album, Ben Davis EP.
With many tours to come and their first full length worship album to be released June 21st on new label Come&Live! the coming year has many blessings in sight for the band.
