We Are Messengers has been nominated for both Dove Awards and K-Love Fan Awards. Band member Alex McVey is originally from St. Albans, West Virginia.
Union Mission is excited to have the group with us to share in worship and music. Lead singer Darren Mulligan, has an amazing testimony which will be featured in the mission’s August Newsletter.
“Christ came to serve and showed us how to serve, and we want to do that,” Mulligan says. “We want to tell people about the goodness of God. Music allows us to have that conversation. We want to love people the way He loves us. We want to wash people’s feet.”
