Description:
Mission 58 is a Christian rock band from Raleigh, NC who God has magnificently brought together to reach out to people through music. In the beginning, the group discussed and prayed about what the mission was going to be for this band. They read the verse, Romans 5:8 which states: “But God demonstrated his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” The world needs to hear how much God loves them and this verse really struck a cord with the group. God spoke to their hearts and gave them a mission, mission 58. Their goal is to step outside of what many bands want, and be different. God said that his children would be different or separate from the world, and this idea is what mission 58 is all about.
The members come from different backgrounds, but after coming together, they realized what a small world it truly is. David and Stewart, the lead guitarist and drummer, had been friends for years and had previously been a part of a Christian band. As God would have it, things changed and they broke away, but as time passed, they realized that God’s calling was still on their lives to play music.
A grueling process, they began to search for a singer in hopes to re-establish a core group. Through family connections, they met Robbie and found his talents were best used as the bass player and BGV’s. Little did David and Robbie know, but they had been neighbors for years. Finally, through Robbie’s church, Corey was interviewed as the lead singer. Without any doubts in their minds, they asked Corey to sing; after just a few weeks of searching for God’s will, Mission 58 came into existence as it is today.
