OUR MISSION:

     Light of Christ Worship Band wants to take the beautiful musical gifts that God has given us, out into the world! We desire to share our love for the Lord and encourage His faithful, using moving, God-inspired Christian music to help deepen their relationship, and freely and passionately worship Him. We hope to inspire the un-churched as well, to connect with them using a familiar genre, and Let God inspire them to embark on a journey of discovery and faith. We believe that this is His purpose for us and for our ministry.

BACKGROUND:

of the Light of Christ Worship Band:
     Gerard Weber is the Worship Leader & Music Director of Light of Christ Worship Band and provides the Guitar & lead vocals.
     In 2009, he was asked to become the leader of the Worship Band for Light of Christ Parish's 'Life Teen' youth ministry. (Life Teen is a Catholic youth program geared specifically to teenagers.)
    In June of 2010, our parish community of Light of Christ began a transformation that combined two other parish communities with ours. The resulting merging of these three very different communities, 'downsizing' and staff reductions have resulted in the need to change our mission as a band.  We still provide music for our parish teens, now on Fridays, but we've also decided to 'take it on the road!'
