Our Genres: Christian Gospel, Pop.
We play: Song Writer, Acoustic Guitar, Rhythm Guitar.
We're looking for people who play: Piano, Bass Guitar, Drums.
About us: Hello! I'm a 58 year old authentic Christian. ( Black Man not that it should make a difference ) singer/songwriter/Rhythm guitarist out of Chicago. I prefer local or suburbs. Even NWI. ( North west Indiana ) i would love to start a Christian band - Christian pop light rock. This is a Ministry to me. A Ministry. If I wanted to become a "Rock Star" I would have pursued that avenue 23 years ago. Yes I would like to get on K-Love & Moody Radio etc, & yes I would like to make money through the music 🎶 Yes I do too, blah blah blah - If God wills. Having said that, success to me is: #1 glory to God #2 Souls helped to be saved ( through our music ) we only plant seeds, God does the saving. #3 Saints encouraged ( fellow Christians lifted up ) #4 Reward on the Bema seat. I don't want anyone in my band that's not a Bible believing, Jesus Christ trusting, loving, born again Christian. Period. No Jehovah's false witnesses, No Mormons, ( LDS ) No Free Masons, ( No prosperity gospel doctrine ) ONLY born again Christians ONLY. The Holy Spirit says to "test each spirit."
And I can tell if a person is pretending to be Christian FYI. You have a life story, and I have one too. Let's get together and go from there. I attend Park Community Church in Chicago, and I want to serve God / The Lord Jesus Christ through music in any way, shape or form God chooses for our lives. I also prefer you be at least 47 years or older. "Education is knowledge, but Wisdom is experience." We'll talk further. Thank you for reading. Btw the name of our band is Eternal Perspective.
