Straightway :: Welcome!

Hi, welcome to our site!!! Straightway is a Christian band that formed in the fall of 2004. We have a heart for serving God with our lives and our music because of the personal relationship that we have with Him. We lead worship at various college worship services and youth group retreats or gatherings. If your church or group needs a praise and worship band for any occasion, shoot us an e-mail!

**CD’s now available. Check out the media page or e-mail us to order!!**
Straightway :: Welcome!

Our Mission as a band is to worship the Lord in song and with our lives. We believe that worship is a response to God’s glory for who He is, what He’s done, and what He’s going to do. Whether that response be simply obedience to his sovereignty, or a joyful song, it’s worship. We enjoy traveling to different churches and youth rallys and worshiping with all the different people we meet. We were blessed to be led in worship by some awesome Christian people growing up who genuinely invested in our lives and did more than just sing and leave. Because of them, we have a heart to be more than just a band who shows up, sings, and then leaves. We enjoy, and treasure, hanging out with all of the groups we lead worship for and its a real blessing to our band to be able to do so.

Straightway :: Welcome!

“But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.”
2 Corinthians 4:7
“For we are powerless before this great multitude who are coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are on You.”
2 Chronicles 20:12
“Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old”
Matthew 13:52
