Steve Ladd will be joining us for the evening worship service on February 21, 2010.  Steve, formerly with Gold City, will share his new ministry with us through music.  Check him out in this video of what he calls his "signature song" called "Preach the Word" and at his website.

As early as five years old while growing up in Dayton, Ohio, Steve Ladd felt the call of God to minister through song. The son of an evangelist, the youngster answered this call by traveling and singing with his family conducting revivals around the area. Who knew that this talented young boy would mature to become one of the most well-liked and respected group member for some of America’s most award-winning Christian music ensembles? Although still a young artist, Ladd has already traveled extensively both domestically and internationally with artists like Gold City and The Anchormen, being featured on number one radio singles like "Giver Of Life" and most recently, performing songs like “Preach the Word” which has become a personal anthem of encouragement Ladd takes wherever he goes. Of the song and its message, Ladd shares, "What an honor it was to record the song ‘Preach the Word’. As an evangelist's son, I have a heart for pastors and know the pressures felt by today’s pastors, often demanded by some to preach a ‘watered down’ message. My prayer has always been that God will use this song as an encouragement to pastors and believers everywhere to always: Preach the Cross, Preach the Blood, Preach The Word!!".

While living out his dream with these award-winning groups, July 2009 found Ladd again answering the call of God by leaving behind the comfortable and launching a solo ministry. Of this new chapter, Ladd states, "I love to sing and I know that I have been called to do what I do. I’ve personally seen Christian music tear down walls and barriers that people have built out of past mistakes and prepare their hearts for receiving the preached Word of God. That’s the direction I feel the Lord leading me now."
