My name is Judson Harris and each week I am A lead worhsipper at First Baptist Church of Okeechobee's Youth Group. I am the lead singer and lead acoustic guitarist for my youth praise band. Our youth group splits the middle schoolers(6th-8th) and the highschoolers(9th-12th) as Monday is highschool night, Tuesday is middle school night-this is only because we have a large number of students on each night and we cant hold them all in our youth facility on one night, so we split em. Anyway, on each night I play a Breedlove Atlas Series AC25/SM acoustic guitar. I am sooooo blessed to even have a guitar of this quality. It has a very deep sound, but it's playable-I sortra like to call it a Martin/Taylor mix because it has the playability of a taylor, but the deep sound of a Martin. Anyway, I am very blessed to have it because this guitar costs somewhere around $1,000 retail, but I was lucky to buy it from a friend of my parents for only $450. It was a true blessing from God. It's a verrry nice guitar, but I am currently looking for a Crowdster Plus with a Koa top. This would be the ast guitar I get because it's so phenominally sounding and it plays well. Im sure you've all heard of it, and Im having some trouble getting one; but if it's in Gods will, hten one day Ill get one. For now Im gonna stick to what Ive got, which isnt bad at all. But anyway, so , yea, there it is. God Bless! Hey! My name is Judson Harris and each week I am A lead worhsipper at First Baptist Church of Okeechobee’s Youth Group.

I am blessed to lead worship at New Covenant Worship Center of Ft Wayne, IN. I lead from three keyboards (Yamaha Motifs). I know that's a little different from the norm. Furthermore, I cant' sing!!! I truly must be the only non-singing worship leader on the planet! Greetings. I am blessed to lead worship at New Covenant Worship Center of Ft Wayne, IN. I lead from three keyboards (Yamaha Motifs).

Andrew Heath from McKinney, TX. I lead each Sunday at First Baptist McKinney in our Theatre Venue. I am currently using a Taylor 514ce played through and Avalon U5 di box. Absolutely love the tone from the Taylor and Avalon. I often get guitar envy and want to change it up but I really have nothing to complain about with the Taylor. I have a Rhodes that I'm trying to work into the set but it just seems a little big to be sitting for more than 75% of the set. Hey Folks!

My name's Paul Kerslake, I share lead worshipping with my wife, Hannah and others. Recently been employed a day a week to be the Creative Director (grand title...needs changing) at church a day a week. 2. My main instrument is actually drums, and I still play for other's when not leading. But when I do lead it's with an Epiphone EJ200CE or a Telecaster depending on the music. Through a pedalboard I built. 1. My name’s Paul Kerslake, I share lead worshipping with my wife, Hannah and others.

Hi. My name's PJ. I'm the lead worshiper 48-50 Sundays a year. I get really sweaty doing it, but wouldn't trade it for the world! 2. I lead from my assortment of Electrics (with the rare acoustic moment from Takamine EAN40C Mahagony/satin Walnut top thrown in). - Epi Sheraton II (my blonde baby) - Reissued '78 Tele Deluxe - Tradition Les Paul (not as frequently used after the purchase of the Epi) I run them all through a crazy programed chain of FX starting with a BOSS GT-8's A/B channel selet then compressor then out to a Marshall ED-1 compressor, Ibanez TS-9, Line6 MM4 & DL4 back into the BOSS for finish up with reverb control, modded RAT, flange, Auto Wah, Slow Swell, and solo db boost into a Fender Twin Reverb with 6L6 tubes. If you're seriously considering a trade... I'd be interested. 1. Hi. My name’s PJ. I’m the lead worshiper 48-50 Sundays a year. I get really sweaty doing it, but wouldn’t trade it for the world!
