Christian Band I Am They Are Calling It Quits

By Timothy Yap Sep 28, 2022 06:08 PM EDT

Christian pop band I AM THEY are disbanding at the end of the year. They will finish off their 14-year ministry with their final tour, The In Between Tour, this week and will play their final show on November 12 in Battle Creek, Michigan.

The band writes, "So much to say...but for starters - our hearts are full. Full of love for all of you. Full of thanks for all God has done and continues to do. It has been an incredible journey together. One that has marked our lives forever. We never ever could have seen it coming or known that God would take a single night of worship back in 2008 and call us forward into this full-time ministry. But God's dreams for us are always greater than our own and we trust that now more than ever.

"Our story has never been conventional, but our prayer is that it will continue to be devotional. That the banner over our lives and the identity that we each carry forward - whether on or off a stage - would be `They.' That our pursuit would continue to be Him and Him alone. While we certainly wish we could have made it to see each of y'all out in your own neck of the woods, we really hope to see as many of you as possible out on the stops of this final tour!!

"We love you dearly and again are so incredibly thankful for your prayers, kindness, support, love, and grace as we step into what God has next! "

The band --- made up of Matt Hein (vocals, guitar), Abbie Parker, (vocals), Brandon Chase (vocals, guitar), Justin Shinn (keys) and Nicole Hickman (drums) --- poured the challenges of the past, hope for the future and a newfound joy for the present into their third album, Faithful God. More than a collection of new songs, Faithful God is a look back and a look forward, a declaration of promises kept and promises yet to come.

Along with I Am They, the tour will also feature pop/gospel artist Jonathan Traylor and new worship duo composed of I Am They vocalist Brandon Chase and his wife Theresa; Chase & Co. Tickets for The In Between Tour are available now and a list of tour dates is below.
