Meet our amazing musicians and speakers for the week! Check back often for more great guest.
Musicians
The band Teshuva (meaning repentance or “to return”) is made up of members of the Spear family. They feel called to share the message of Returning to God and His righteous ways with anyone who will listen. Living in Watertown, TN they have recorded several albums and lead worship for their local fellowship.
Brayden and Tali live with their seven children in Patterson, MO. They are the ministry directors at Love & Purity. Worship has been the heart of their ministry for years. Their desire is that the music they produce would help you to plant the Word of God deep in your heart and cultivate the Spirit of God in your life. Many of their songs are pulled straight from scripture.

The Clemons have been playing music for many years. Sam, the father has been playing bass in bands for 40+ years and led worship on many occasions. His children, Wayne, Joe, Leila, Betsy, and Mary all play and sing plus they will probably have some special guest musicians with them.

The Warren Family
The Warren Family enjoys leading worship at their local fellowship. They feel blessed to have a family that lives together, plays together, and worships together! As the next generation of musicians join the team they want nothing more than to raise a generational family that loves to worship YHWH!
