John has been singing
all of his life, starting as a part of a family music ministry with his
family almost as soon as he started talking. He began playing the piano
at the age of 4, and has added instruments throughout his life.

Larry started playing bass in 1990, but gave it up in 1992 to join the Army. After a bad accident and several life changing experiences, started playing again in 2000. He has played with several churches and ministries such as Rock Place Ministries, Cornerstone Community Church, Roscoe United Methodist Church, The Overflowing Cup, Hilltop Ministries and Turning point Ministries. He has also played in several secular bands like UFOZ, Iron Cross, Psychotic Puppets, Obsidian Drake, Recluse and currently playing for Wykkyd Vykkyr. He also gives Bass lessons at Pegasus Music.
Larry is an accomplished sound engineer with a flair for figuring out how best to set up any environment for appropriate amplification and sound. He started working with sound equipment in 2002 when Iron Cross fired their sound tech and needed someone to fill the roll. Since then he has set up over 200 shows and helped to correct sound issues in several churches. Larry even gives classes on sound equipment setup and proper usage.
Katharina (John's wife) has been singing with choirs and other choral opportunities for a number of years, including singing as a part of the LifeSingers Ministries. Katharina has a beautiful voice and definitely carries the presence of the Spirit wherever she goes. She also plays flute and is our number 1 "roadie".
Johnathon is a rythym guitarist who has been playing guitar since he was 17.
He has a heart for contemporary worship and ministry. Otherwise, in his own words:
"I'm just an average hard-working fiancee and father."
Oh, and don't be surprised if you see his fiance, Jasmine, sneak up on stage for a song or two :)
Bobby is an energetic and enthusiastic drummer with a keen sense for the movement of music. Bobby has finally returned from the wilds of Indiana and is going strong! We'll get some updated pictures out here soon. Be sure to welcome him back when you have a chance.
Larry's wife, Shannon, is our Sound Tech during concerts.
