Product Description
The DRM Band ministry began in the early 1990s as a praise and worship ministry based out a local church in Haverhill, MA. These were the early days of contemporary praise and worship music. We felt called to travel to other churches to help lead contemporary praise services and introduce congregations to contemporary worship. After listening to Pastor Claude Noel, a Haitian pastor and head of the Haitian Council of Churches, the DRM Band captured a burden for Haiti. This led to extensive touring throughout New England in an effort to raise money and culminated in trips to Haiti and a tour of the churches throughout Haiti. Through touring, the DRM Band raised over $35,000 for the Haitian Council of Churches.
In 2012, DRM Band felt the calling of God to reunite once again and resume ministry, ministering at churches, fundraisers, outdoor venues, coffeehouses and anywhere else where God calls us to minister and to share His word. Our music is a mix of original music and Christian standards. We are just as comfortable ministering to the unchurched at a neighborhood block party or in a church leading worship and edifying the body. We would love to have the opportunity to share our ministry with you at your church or your next special event. For more information, contact us by any of the means on our “Contact” page.
