Rend Collective Live!

Rend Collective Live! Comes to Lancaster Bible College on Sunday, April 12
Irish Christian folk-rock worship band Rend Collective will visit Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on April 12 for a spring night of joyful worship at Good Shepherd Chapel. The group will lead favorites such as “My Lighthouse,” “Build Your Kingdom Here,” “Hallelujah Anyway,” “Counting Every Blessing,” “Your Name Is Power” and more. Rend Collective will make several stops along the Mid-Atlantic East Coast before finishing their spring tour in Europe.
The evening begins at Lancaster Bible College at 7 p.m. with general admission seating.
Early entries and VIP experiences are available.
About Rend Collective
Hailing from the rugged coast of Northern Ireland, Rend Collective has long believed worship should feel more like a celebration than a performance. From their earliest days gathering on beaches and in living rooms to now leading worship across the world, the band has held to one mission: to joyfully share the good news of Jesus through authentic, Spirit-filled worship.
Since releasing their debut Organic Family Hymnal, Rend Collective has grown from a small worshiping community into a global voice, amassing more than 1 billion career streams and earning multiple gold- and platinum-selling singles, including fan favorites “My Lighthouse,” “Counting Every Blessing,” and “Build Your Kingdom Here.” Their catalog also includes the international worship anthem “Hallelujah Anyway,” which has resonated deeply with churches worldwide.
The group’s breakout single “Build Your Kingdom Here” became an early global anthem, and their momentum continued through a run of chart-topping albums. The Art of Celebration debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Albums chart, followed by several additional No. 1 releases, including As Family We Go, Good News and Campfire. Known for their energetic, folk-infused worship, Rend Collective has toured with major artists such as Chris Tomlin, MercyMe, Hillsong United, Kari Jobe and Lecrae, all while preserving a sound rooted in joy, community and honest storytelling.
Across albums such as As Family We Go (2015), Campfire II (2016), Good News (2017), Choose to Worship (2020), Whosoever (2022) and FOLK! (2024), Rend Collective continues to grow musically while staying true to the heart of their ministry: hope, simplicity and the wide-open welcome of Jesus.
Today, the band includes Chris Llewellyn, Stephen Mitchell, Daniel Jones and Jonathan Chu—friends and worshippers who believe celebration is a holy act and that the joy of the Lord is worth proclaiming.
