Here is a list of some bands that might be great worship leaders for your DiscipleNow event.
Beautiful Surrender
Web Address: www.thebeautifulsurrenderband.com
Email: contact@thebeautifulsurrenderband.com
We are a band based out of Oklahoma City, OK and are currently serving at a church in Moore through leading in worship. Romans 12:1 says that we are to present our bodies as “ A living sacrifice, Holy and Acceptable to our God.” This means, to us personally, that we are to wrap our entire being around Christ as an act of worship. Although worship is not summed up in just music, we believe that God has given us a talent and passion for music in order that we use it to further His Kingdom. Our purpose is not to make our name known but to rather share the love of Christ and spread the good news to all we come in contact with. One of our passions is to build lasting relationships with students. Not only is this vital in reaching our generation to help them see the reality of who God is, but it also helps connecting students to God in worship through music. Our prayer is that we would be vessels of God, pouring fourth His light into the darkness of this world.
Red Letter Hero

Red Letter Hero began as worship leaders in their local church and discovered a shortage within the music ministry of the church today. “Suprisingly enough, many churches in America do not have their own worship teams,” explained Chance Greer, one of the band members, “so we saw a need and it is our desire to fill it.” Red Letter Hero has since branched off into other avenues of music playing at concerts, camps, venues, but one thing remains the same, their attitude of worship. Red Letter Hero believes that they are not simply a band playing music, but are a ministry that aids churches where they are lacking and leads people with artistic, passionate music in worship.
I AM'S CALL
Web Address: www.iamscall.com

Alex Slayton, lead singer of I AM'S CALL.
Wayward
Web Address: www.myspace.com/waywardworship
Email: waywardworship@gmail.com
Wayward is a collection of musicians from all corners of Texas brought together to bring the world a sound and purpose, not expected of this world. With a common vision to manifest Hope in not only words, but phonic textures and rhythms as well, Wayward’s passion to lead others into an experience with God that was first seen at the cross and now resides in every beating heart. The band, which is based out of Dallas Baptist University, went through many different names in the beginning but decidedly went with Wayward because, “The name symbolizes a sojourner in a foreign land with the purpose of making their way home,” said Noah Gravell, lead guitarist of Wayward, “I think we all feel that way.” The bands sound is a collection of Christian indie rock, laced with sophisticated electronic ambience. Although the band has only been together a year their reputation is far from amateur and they are already the regular worship band for Fellowship of the Metroplex and First Baptist Mansfield in Mansfield and has more than a handful of D-NOW’s and youth camps under their belt.
Stephen Miller
Web Address: www.stephen-miller.com
Email: stephen@stephen-miller.com
with remarkable fervency and passion not common among young worship leaders, stephen miller is emerging as one of today’s finest worship artists. bringing a fresh perspective to the timeless truths of God, he communicates them with a unique blend of vibrant, ambient rock and scripturally-inspired lyrics. though fresh, stephen is by no stretch a rookie. ten years ago his heart for the local church birthed in him the desire to be a theologian and pastor before being a musician. however, the tension between art and theology has failed to slow stephen down from writing incredible anthems of praise for the church to sing. always taking into account how each local expression of the body of Christ will respond to each song, he carefully and skillfully crafts each melody with the hope that it will connect the heart of the believer with their Creator God in authentic worship. in a time when the people of God so badly need to be reminded of their first Love, the Lord is definitely using stephen miller to capture the heart of His people. he has prayed for spiritual awakening, and with songs like “awaken my heart”, "rise up" and "You are sovereign here," filling up his latest full length album, "people of redemption", stephen authentically and passionately leads congregations in the corporate setting and individual worshipers all over to a heart-felt cry for inner-revival.
Picked Last (Stephen Blackwell)
Web Address: www.myspace.com/pickedlastband or www.myspace.com/stephenandrewblackwell
Email: sblackwell2277@yahoo.com
Stephen Blackwell is an up and coming worship leader who would be the perfect fit for your next youth event. He enjoys leading worship, teaching what true worship is and writing worship music. Stephen is available for D-nows, Youth camps, and Retreats. Stephen is also the lead singer for the Christian Worship band "Picked Last." The name comes from Matthew 19:30, which states,” And many of the first will be last, and the last will be first.” They seek not to be what the world wants but rather what it needs; Christians leading people to the throne of God, through worship and fellowship. They also feel that they are to be Picked Last in their own lives. Meaning their needs be put last, especially after our Savior Jesus Christ. They were the worship band for Sunnyvale FBC's "Rescue," a College/Young Adult Service for over a year. Their experience allows them to bring a high impact worship service, as well as, an extremely entertaining concert that is relevant and meaningful to your students. If you are interested in booking Stephen Blackwell or "Picked Last" please contact him.
