Comprised of world class musicians and singers who are all ministers in their respective churches.

Known specifically for their diverse sound effectively captured on the 2001 Hosanna! Integrity release of "New Season" as well as 2002's "Lakewood Live 'We Speak to Nations,'" their heart is to deliberately diminish the lines that separate the Church, and bring all people together through worship.
