THE VOYAGE

The Voyage was formed in 2016 when Ryan Wegner, a Worship Pastor in Edmonton,Alberta, challenged a group of local artists to create an album with one goal in mind: to write songs about real life, faith, and God that were honest, heartfelt, and hopeful. On February 22, 2018, The Voyage released their debut self–titled album. This songs have inspired countless people who have suffered from fear, pain and loss – instilling peace and hope to those inside and outside the church. Many of the songs have also become anthems of hope for their home church, Hope City Church in Edmonton, Alberta. Since their album release, The Voyage have been travelling throughout Western Canada leading worship, headlining concerts, and talking about their own journey with mental health and the hope found in Jesus.

VILLAGE WORSHIP

Village Worship began simply as the Sunday morning worship ministry for Village Church almost 10 years ago after Senior Pastor, Mark Clark, was given a vision from God to plant the church in January 2010. Since then, God has moved through Village Church in some pretty incredible ways and it quickly became one of the fastest growing churches in Canada. Through this exponential growth, God has brought about some very gifted and passionate people to form what is now Village Worship, a group of individuals serving their local church, who also have a deep desire to write songs and lead worship for the greater Church community. Village Worship has released a number of different singles and music and are currently working on releasing more music soon.
