Worship on the Square

 

SCOTT ENGLAND

In the summer of 1996 the Atlanta based Rock/Pop artist, singer/songwriter and worship leader Scott England stepped out and began his music career. With years of experience crafting his gift, England continues to encourage, uplift, and inspire listeners through his music.

Scott England was born in Chicago, Illinois, and found his home in Atlanta, Georgia at an early age. After his high-school graduation, England attended Kennesaw State University on a vocal scholarship. From there he went on to study recording engineering at Georgia State University. With three bands, six albums, numerous recording productions, frequent performances, multiple accolades, and over a decade of preparation under his belt, Scott England is slowly but surely loving his way into the people’s hearts all across the globe.

 England’s passion moves far beyond his love for music alone. As a devoted Christian since 1991, Scott England aims to reach the world bringing the message of Christ through honest, relevant, anointed music. His engagements include performing at venues both statewide and inter-national. England says, “I like to consider myself a ‘musicianary.’ You will find me at youth camps, school campuses, coffee houses, clubs and amphitheaters all over the world, as well as serving youth and music in the local churches.” Scott joined the Out of the Box United team and serves as a board member. His prayer is to see this ministry encourage the Body of Christ to put action behind their words, and become a revolution for the Kingdom of God!

TED RASTATTER

Ted Rastatter is a 28 year old singer/songwriter from Springfield, Ohio.  After giving his life to Jesus in high school, he began leading worship and writing songs.  Since 2000, Ted has been a worship leader for college bible studies, churches, events and traveled to perform music in Europe and India two times.  In 2008, he started leading worship while helping to plant Soma Community Church in Springfield, Ohio.

Ted has an amazing understanding of what it means to not only lead people in worship, but also what it means to live a life of worship. He exudes this in the way He loves others, and his urge to live boldly for the glory of God. He has a heart to share the gospel and the amazing free gift of relationship with the Lord that it offers. This radiates in the way he leads people into worship; “Boldly and confident before the throne of God.”

Ted loves music and realizes that this is only one small part of what worship truly is. Ted has been gifted with song, and the ability to transform words with a powerful message and expressive music. Ted credits all His ability to Jesus Christ and is honored to be used for the Kingdoms purpose in anyway he is given.

In February of 2010, Ted will release his first EP album called “Shine a Light.”  This will be a new and exciting step to showcase his talent not only vocally, but as a songwriter as well.  

SETH CONDREY

Seth Condrey is a husband and father with a sincere and moving testimony of God’s grace in his own life. Seth’s aspiration is to share his story and his life with the hope that it will lead others into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Seth is a gifted artist and worship leader who uses his abilities to teach, mentor and inspire people to receive the love of the one true living God he has so personally experienced. “I have experienced the love of Jesus in a real way, and I want to others to experience it as well”

Seth recorded his first independent album titled “My All” in 2002.  Shortly after, he spent an entire year attending a bible college in Argentina. With his perseverance and resolve Seth was able to learn fluent Spanish.  “My love for people has grown through the experiences that God has put me in.  As I’ve traveled to different places and met people that have a deep love for God, it’s transformed my thinking and increased the love that burns in my heart for the world and for the God who created it,” says Seth about his experiences in South America. He was signed with the Spanish Christian label CanZion Group in 2006, and released his sophomore album “De Corazon a Corazon” in 2007. Shortly after signing with CanZion, Seth married his wife, Jessica and they now have two sons, Titus and Jonas.  Seth released his sophmore Spanish album “Mi Vida Entera” in 2008.  Since then, Seth has been touring in South America and Europe singing in Spanish and sharing the love of Christ.

 “I love people.  I love people on the street. I love people in churches,” says Seth.  “I love people of all different walks of life, like the people that Jesus died for kind of people.” 

He is currently leading worship at North Point Community Church and its two other campuses and some of its strategic partners. Seth’s album “De Corazon a Corazon” won Spanish Language Album of the Year at the 2008 GMA Dove Awards.  When asked about the award Seth said humbly, “So many people have poured into my life and believed that God could actually use someone like me.  I honestly believe that about each and every person that I encounter.  God can change them too, and He can use them for His glory.”

CHRIS HUFF

Chris Huff was born and raised in the Metro Atlanta area and has always had a love for music and the voice it gives. After graduating high school, Chris really pursued his walk and relationship with Jesus Christ. The Word of God’s influence combined with his love of music is what prompted Chris to get involved with worship ministries. After attending Kennesaw State University, Chris became very serious about using the gifts and talents God had ignited in him to use for His glory.

Chris believes in allowing his music and life to point to something and someone greater than himself. Chris has been leading worship at various conferences and camps around the Atlanta area and he a frequent worship leader at NorthStar Church in Kennesaw and Stonecreek Church in Alpharetta. He and his wife have also been attending and volunteering at Passion City Church.

With some amazing opportunities on the horizon, God is continuing to show Chris what it means to be a lead worshipper. His heart as a songwriter is to give people a voice back to God with songs that truly reflect and glorify Him. “Music is a universal language that we can all understand. What better way to use that language than to join as one to proclaim the fame, glory, and grace that we receive from our God on a daily basis. Even in the midst of the storms our world experiences, and no matter what you are going through, we have a promise that there are greater things that have yet to come.”

“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2: 1-10.

 Hallelujah!!! All the way up until junior year of high school I was dead in my sin, disobedient, and lived to gratify the things of my flesh; until, God saved me! One of the greatest obstacles in my life was severe anxiety. It robbed me of my social life and affected my eating habits. I also lost a lot of weight, which caused me to have a negative self- image. I never would have imagined myself on a stage in front of thousands of people. However, God had a plan for my life that I never would have expected.

Through the refining fires of sanctification, God healed me and gifted me with music to lead His bride in worship on a weekly basis. I am so thankful for His great love for me and I can’t say it or sing it enough. I don’t know what God has for my wife and I in the future, but I do know that He has called us to invest in the local church. Our heart and passion is to see Christ magnified in the hearts and minds of people throughout the world. I can’t wait to see where God leads and guides us.
